Transcripts For RT Watching The Hawks 20240712

A misdemeanor and as a cherry on top write in time for this years controversial lections an important elections and any protester convicted of this new felony crime would effectively lose their right to vote you see felony convictions in tennessee and in many other states across the country often result in the revoke ation of a persons most basic right here in the United States of america and that is our right to vote to take part in our government in response to this new law the tennessee executive director of the a. C. L. U. Heavy weinberg said quote we are very disappointed in governor lees decision to sign this bill which chills free speech undermines criminal Justice Reform and fails to address the very issues of Racial Justice and Police Violence raised by the protesters who are now being targeted. And that my of rens is the real truth we are seeing across this land rather than take responsibility and fix a system of institutionalized racism and wealth inequality our politicians are quick to take the old easy way out with empty court corporate gestures of equality and outright criminalization of protest unless of course your protest is sponsored by you know cocacola mcdonalds or Lockheed Martin then its ok. Black america so is yet another black american is tragically gunned down in the streets by those who protect and serve in our bill of rights is quickly becoming a list of potential felonies i think thats a good time to start watching the hawks. If you want to go on a city street you want to. See that this is joyce state see you. Grace see this least systemic deception is the late show which. Some but you dont. Welcome aboard are watching the arc so i am tired old winter and i dont its across a measure that is incredible way people are protesting people are taking to the streets so what is our response were going to look at this problem head on were going to take on Racial Injustice in this country were going to you know really get to the root core or we could just you know make it a crime to protest that we went with option b. This is a minute its interesting because we see hash tag after has name after name dead men black men and women who have been violently abused at the hands of the police and the refrain is always reform reform reform we have this institutional racism that exists within this institution has always been there and the answer from legislators is seemingly lets punish the protesters isnt that weird to me i mean yes weve seen. You know people go do stupid things burn down a gas station i mean i remember back to ferguson was like oh my gosh they burned down the local gas station and all they looted target are all this and these things are separate though from what actually is being protested those are those are acts of rage from an oppressed populace but the protests are saying we need these actual changes and start now we outlaw the bill in tennessee also imposes man the mandatory minimum 45. 00 day hold of convicted of aggravated rioting whatever the hell that means you know you can call anything aggravated rioting he looked really angry while he was running down the street. Says the fine for obstructing emergency vehicles from accessing highways and requires a court to order restitution for damages of state and property thats like a new tax ive noticed no words like oh well lets make the protesters pay for whatever happens if its convenient and problematic because we were talking about this earlier i went to a college town was a member of a sorority for attorneys the crazy things on campus all the time and off the Tennessee Titans should the Tennessee Titans go to the super bowl or get close to it people would loot people would riot people would act crazy and none of this goes into play when it is any type of action that does not involve minorities in my pressurization is that we keep seeing all these laws enacted specifically because President Trump has gone out on this law in order allege to basically punish people who he deems as not worthy of protesting or people who are using their voices in a way that he does not like thats so true and its now its like ok 1st lets you know beat people with you know fire chemical weapons in the crowds tear gas theres a chemical weapon now anyone who shows up to the crowds we get to arrest and say theyre felony and then take away their right to vote because a lot of these if you get a felony conviction no matter what it is one of 4 you lose your right to vote which i think is wrong in the to begin with oh it is inherently a problem and we know that because of whos getting punished in this way versus who isnt this this just adds to. The voter disenfranchisement that africanamericans are already facing you should not pay for losing you all right to vote when youre out here protesting like it i dont think that that should happen to anybody its offensive its demonstrative really horrible but its also one of those things where these people are protesting to get the government to Pay Attention and in turn your response is to remove them from having any level of democratic action right right was put them in jail anyway were just were doing is what seems to be our go to in this country over the last 2030 years of anything that we dont understand or cant figure out on a social level or cant fix on any level well well just criminalize it and throw it away and anyone who deals with that will just will just pretend they dont exist its interesting theres a map of tennessee is one of 21 states that actually punish felons by taken with a right to vote and then 15 states you can see here 15 states have an active anti protest laws according to the International Center for for not for profit law those are the 15 states where you see massive amount of laws being passed at least one up to 456 that literally criminalize acts of protest this is again its pressure because im waiting to see that for the guys who showed up and the state capitals with their guns they were literally threatening legislators because they didnt want to wear a mask or that because they wanted to go and dine in a restaurant when coburn 1000 without its peak in the United States Nothing Happened but these protesters who are literally protesting to save our lives so that people will Pay Attention to the fact that black people are dying in droves at the hands of Police Officers. And turn what do you get this is exactly congresswoman Ayana Presley some people are taking notice she actually tweeted out saying voting is an act of resistance if our votes didnt matter they wouldnt work so hard to silence those by the way this is unconstitutional and against the law i think i am as correct because this is going to get thrown out in court at least i would hope so but its going to get challenged somebody is going to get arrested for stating this occupy style protest of the test that theyre going to get thrown in jail and then eventually you know hopefully it will get tossed out as being a cost to be believed. Just trying to get patted on the back and president. Is going to go it already. Well as i stated at the top of the show injustice is what drives protests and tragically 2020 continues to be a year running on the fuel of injustice this week in the citizens of commotion wisconsin joined a growing and tragic list of communities across the United States of america whose streets were a blaze over the weekend after local police shot down jacob blake an unarmed black american and the unarmed black american who according to reports was shot 7 times in the back in front of his 3 small children and what great crime did he supposedly commit all my friends he tried to break up a fight between 2 women. Arties true chavez has more on this story and other similar cases taking a place across the United States now i guess more must warn you of course of the videos in this package you see are probably very graphic. Today disturbing video of a Police Shooting going viral the footage showing 29 year old jacob blake walking away from kosha Officers Police quickly follow him and aim their weapons the encounter quickly escalating. Loud screams can be heard as police fire at least 7 shots 9 at close range appearing to be shot in the back his 3 sons reportedly witnessing everything from the backseat of the car it is unclear at this time if officers saw weapon according to reports police were responding to a domestic dispute call on sunday however that part of the incident was not caught on camera of. The shooting sparking Outrage Police met by dozens of demonstrators at the scene of the shooting some throwing rocks bricks and at least one gasoline bomb other videos on social media show multiple fires burning and Police Firing tear gas the commotion county Sheriffs Department issuing an emergency curfew until 7 am monday morning the Governor Tony Evers issuing a statement well we do not have all the details yet what we know for certain is that he is not the 1st black man or person to have been shot or injured or mercilessly killed at the hands of individuals in Law Enforcement in our state or our country blake now at a milwaukee hospital in serious condition while an investigation is underway by the Wisconsin Department of justice into why he was shot so many times the officers involved in the incident have been placed on administrative leave and in lafayette Louisiana Police arrested several protesters over the weekend for blocking roads and throwing rocks and bottles at police the demonstrators clashed with riot Police Following the Police Killing of a black man who officers say was armed with a knife and resisted arrest the suspect was shot almost a. Dozen times meantime in Portland Oregon black lives matter protests ongoing for 88 consecutive days over the weekend demonstrators facing off with Police Officers using tear gas to disperse demonstrators Law Enforcement declaring a riot for the 3rd time in 4 nights reporting in new york trinity show others are tea. And justice and protests all across this country and they did really gets under my skin where you always see it say well the protesters were throwing rocks or Something Like that. And its like look the police are showing up dressed like storm troopers ready to rock and roll and are firing rubber bullets and tear gas these these 2 things are unequal and are ready to incite and see what happens anyway a lot a lot of what were seeing in some of these protests that you that are amplified on television is that you have these folks coming in who are armed who have all types of all types of weaponry and some chemical as well and they are just waiting for that moment when they can become sizable enough to where it goes viral and they can create an excuse its problematic because there are some sympathizers to that who will say ok well now im deciding between where im standing on the side of the protesters or the police and they just need one clear shot for them to be able to take the wrong side and there are whats under reported in the media too is the fact that look a lot of times i cant tell you how many times in the recent new york city protests that were protests there were they trapped everyone on a bridge how many times weve seen videos now were officers are going up the Peaceful Protesters shoving them hitting them with the baton spraying them with tear gas rubber bullets Everything Else under the sun your pepper balls one of them these people were being peaceful these people were they were simply voicing their opinions that is no longer something that apparently is protected we we like to say that it is its one of the foundations of our democracy if its constitutional right yet we see it being thwarted every single day with extreme violence and thats what. Weve talked about before on the show but its so true when you dont hold people accountable for their action. Which is what youre doing when youre saying hey its ok for police to like but somebody or put down a veteran like we saw in oregon recently you know whos literally just standing there practicing their constitutional right when those officers out how accountable i mean in new york i think the last count as of like mid july was only 4 officers were held accountable during all of the abuse protesters took over those times when you when you asked that question why did protesters turn violent why do things like that look to the Authority Figures who should be there every time weve seen cops go out and march with protesters whether they truly meant men in their hearts or not there because youve never seen that kind of reaction people said ok well be and will be peaceful exactly in that Community Aspect that feeling better actually hearing me goes a really long way in preventing all of this. Already. Well my friends as we go to break remember that you can also start watching the hawks on demand of the brand new portable t. V.

In the world corrupted you need to descend. To join us in the depths. Or in maybe in the shallows. The new Jim Crow National and. International protest against Police Brutality ongoing civil unrest in a constant state of 2nd class citizenship are the norm for blacks across America White supremacy is embedded in the nations founding the architects of americas constitution and racism itself permeates through our Health Care System schools criminal justice and finally in 2020 there seems to be a glimmer of hope but can america live up to its ideals of freedom and justice for all or even unity inequity with mounting calls to end state sanctioned Police Violence and a litany of hashtags of murder blacks whose lives were snuffed out with no regard for their humanity what message is america sending the disparities are glaring predominately black us counties are experiencing a 3 fold higher copays 1000. 00 and section rate than predominately white counties black still face significant hurdles and access to Voting Rights and President Trump and the republicans assault on the post office is just another lever and full scale voter disenfranchisement and even though many businesses have suffered due to code 19 black businesses were hit the hardest the National Bureau of Economic Research found that we want percent of black owned businesses thats 444000 enterprises have been up and compared to just 17 percent of white owned businesses. Black folks bore the brunt of america scores of racism for generations but its shocking how many whites are just now waking up to the blatant inequities for a while blacks and several groups of well meaning supporters challenging the status quo are protesting in the streets the tropic ministration his supporters are labeling them as anarchists and peaceful unamerican and im patriotic were clearly at a breaking point. A new book titled the antiracists how to start the conversation about race and take action break down Racial Injustice is the harsh realities facing blacks in america and what we can do to move the needle forward towards progress author and poet condi but bill joins us now. Welcome. Hey without hi i dont very good thank you as always for coming on. So from the looks of it your book had a lot of interesting chapters very interesting it leans heavily into an environment that created the government sanctioned Police Violence in the 1st place and shows how this is not really a new reality at all considering the current environment what key events or things that you draw from when you were composing the book. So. I said i wanted. To keep takeaways from this book as me using my experiences and liberate torah. That are you know came across and dorrie and during the suffering you know that after face run of the bottom on the suffering that i face now in the suffering that many black americans faced artist country and coming up with ways to help people come back races out there and Racial Injustices thats going on in this country for one example and i only mention it because you know your show the jacob lake video right and for me thats depressing same pitch in the video the people who just like me get tortured and murdered when i know firsthand the gestapo about a police fail like i still had to scream to people in my nightmare as you know that. That i lost the gun violence i dont need to see videos of black boys and girls in america to know that bottom on roughly has 300 people murdered the yeah i live here i walk the streets feel it i dont need to see bloody bodies on a concrete the believe was going on because i know like the thanksgiving table shrinking fat you know what im saying like the friendly a group photo of start a band its like they wont be screaming congratulations when you are crossing state you failed at the numbers you got saving a phone wont paying again sandy you gotta be wow who had to antilynching campaign but she knew that she had to go overseas the speak that truth because the people in a south sudan with the lynching so you know they didnt threaten a murder bottom news robert they need pitches if they were smart of strange they can smoke a strange fruit hanging from a tree you understand what im fast so so im charging everyone else and im also you know asking myself these questions like what are we really dont want shannys video while we still shannon we got aka out for hundreds a year that show what it looked like i. Thought you know what to write in a way i dont want to people sack one of them what is it doing to people sacked you know psychologically if i see some i get murdered today you really think i want to be a surrey on facebook and im really in of a bible scripture not trying to mount a feast on my head get blown off or my. One is done and i ended up bringing this to my next question i have a because you bring up these challenging questions important questions both Major Political parties democrats republicans are being called upon right now to address race based violence White Supremacy Police Brutality and other civil rights abuses do you believe activists right now are asking for the right reforms what are the right reforms we need in this country to survive Going Forward because thats the biggest thing were not going to survive unless we write these wrongs. So this is this is what has to happen that i believe the way say and i make it i make it extremely i try to be. Strangely clear and you know i dont have a one size fits all solution but i cant say. I didnt believe that mass incarceration was a real thing although i knew people including myself who are arrested in jail for a crime that we did not commit it was difficult for me to understand that millions of black people got arrested because of an agenda i knew that the county and private schools were better than the city schools but did not know that thats what my air races look like i just always thought that it was something around a black people sort of painted on door without any truthful context as the wind at painting this as with form and moishe races added as to if you know what im saying actually some i get shat miffy some i else get shat the smart thing for me to do is go get a gun now im stan alert they say i got arrested with that gun now people from moscow dont call me out of the know but knuckle get when i actually out of the im just trying to protect myself or my grandmother because the do the cross street guy shot my notes with no context the why do you struggle reality the so honestly one of the one of the major things that i feel like we have to do we have to teach the truth weve got to be honest about why ancestors and black ancestors why are we here why is it that growing up in school my 1st time having a black teacher was in the family great personally great school why is that. You know what im saying like the situation is that they claim its too hard to talk about a lot of them will be ready for this conversation but its what we did with it so you know what i said i feel like one of the main one of the main takeaways from the book is that we got to be honest you know when we teach and as teachers i we look at teachers that their academic god you will get beat you get to get but beat if you disrespect and teachers dont listen to teachers they out academic god but they also miss educated. You want to say norris races by not been honest in the classroom and not promoting Creativity Book reform and we should out every day and its like how long does it take you to ride through these hoods wrap to these projects to realize what they teach a cat a meal which you learn to have to fill those positions not going to work how long will it take you to realize that that your house has gone on long do it take the Police Officers who want to be whistleblowers at the 15 years it took to 15 is to be a bottomless to the police of the realize that the game is dirty. And try to take that long while you stay thats thats the real tragedy. So obviously this is an Election Year so i have an election question for you a lot of a lot of criticism has come to President Trump and i would argue is very much deserved but the state hes not the only races president weve ever had nor is he the 1st races president americas ever had but in recent years after the Civil Rights Movement post a lot of what we saw in terms of progress President Trump and his administration are rolling back or 30 boarding some of the most foundational of rights that blacks again do you think america has gone too far and what will it take to bring freedom and justice for all can we get there. I failed. You know trump. We need a truck. We need a truck just like we needed obama to show that. We gotta show that the american bought a strat works so we give a black president you know what im saying that we pushed him that we got him there and you know try to say in. A good rant races sometimes not ignorant very intentional. M i can greatest hit you know what im saying from every every have a president that can be funny just to run a playbook so i was going on is just showing people that we have not made as mike racial progress as we thought just because people werent running around planet and where theyre. At you i hate to end where you know what im saying and like of the it was contained you know what im saying but hes not in that flame of what a lot of people already felt about him that just. That just that is what it is it always been this way it always has been this way the thing is that we that we that we that we got to see trump because we want to racism slam dunk now face mode openly how to vent how do we people out you know what im saying i couldnt agree with you more and i gotta say people definitely pick up this book be antiracist how to start a conversation about race and take action can go on it but ill thank you so much for joining us.
