Transcripts For CNNW United Shades Of America 20200816

Supremacy. The subtle stuff and insidious versions. We filmed in 2020, which means we filmed weeks before 2020 hit and months before minneapolis and george floyd and the protested followed. Before many of us heard of forming or defunding the police and his president and cronies related to race crimes. You dont have to look to history to see racism. Just watch the news. The question is, are we finally ready to do the work that makes america the just, equitable and great place its always claimed to be . Ah, the First Episode of united shades of america. Such an innocent time. I know many of you remember it. I hear it all the time. There isnt any racism anymore. Youre right. Its gotten way worse. And that was all before covid19 and before four cops in minneapolis killed george floyd rather than treat it like a human. Protests. A Police Station burning to the ground. Before fatening the curve and through it all, the president not handling it at all. Oh, look, babys first bible. Americas finally ready to get real on White Supremacy. So lets start math, easy, basic. These are White Supremacists. 44 white president s out of 45 in a land 100 native american is White Supremacy. White supremacy is a big, complicated web of systems and institutions set up to keep us with one race. Guess which one . The bird of paradise. Its known as steel town usa. Most is gone. Its progressive liberal cities in western pittsburgh, pa. An Industrial City and grueling technology hub. Its americas most livable city. One sacred and the most affordable city and the worst city in america for black people. Wait, what . What in the name of pittsburghs mr. Rogers is going on . The paradox of seven times higher injured mortality rate of black babies over white babies or a safe and livable city versus the daily attack on white people at a synagogue. Means that in pittsburgh, like america, the history and structure of White Supremacy has us living two totally separate relatitys. You know existing black in pittsburgh is like starving to death in a supermarket aisle. I didnt come up with that. A pittsburgher and native did. Did you ever hear of a pittsburgh steeler getting arrest arrested . Yeah, it happens here. Thats funny. David young is a writer and a cofounder of one of my favorite websites. He was born and raised here. Most importantly, he stayed her here. I feel like pittsburgh is a microcosm of america in the sense that i think that we believe our own hype. It just as america kind of believes its own hype, its lofty missions that were written by slave owners. And there is a reason why white people in pittsburgh seem to be thriving and black people are not. Its like we didnt get this way because of unconnected decisions . Thats why white people in the phrase of White Supremacy are only thinking of the clan, the same nation now, segregation freedom. Theyre not thinking about the structures that exist in this country that keep black folks at the bottom. And its not even about hate. Yes. Its not about hate. You could have a black best friend and still. Put a lebron james poster on your wall. And still have White Supremacy. Many think White Supremacy is neonazis and kkk members. Those guys are just the most invisible tip of the iceberg, ones with genocide, hate groups. But beneath that cold, dark water is actually most of the structure that keeps White Supremacy going along, like police brutality. Some states dont have crimes, jim crowe laws. Much, much, more. And then as we move deeper down the iceberg, we get to the hardest of the city. Racist children, race baiting. All lives matter. I never even owned slaves. The problem is, its too easy to look up at the top and say, what a bunch of assholes. Thats White Supremacy and im not that. Its everything else. Slavery ended and the lakers and the celtics played. Everything was fine. When disparities exist with wealth, with education, with employment, with incarceration. These are sparing any country. But in pittsburgh, theyre more stark. There is two cities happening here. Ye yeah. While black communities in pittsburgh deal with huge Racial Disparities in neighborhoods, predominantly black steel mill towns like braddock just outside of the city are a common experience for black communities across the spire nation. The calm, evolution and longterm systemic White Supremacy. This is the town that steel built. This is where mostly a lot of the black folks lived back in the day. All of this area was occupied. This was the steel minimum so they literally worked right there. I can hear and see smoke coming out of there. They say its steam. I heard that before. Folks used to live on top of it. So all day, all night, this is the sound that they heard. A lot of people look at this town in the last, why would anybody want to stay here . Were talking about people that have their social networks there. In fact, that right there is the school that my mom went to when she was in junior high so a lot of the folks that lived here, they have been here for generations. Summer league. Pittsburgh born but raised in braddock. She is the state rep for the 34th district. By the 1960s and 70s, suburbanization with the white population of braddock. Up the hill. While black folks remained along with red lining and demonstrate tore homeland, which were all legal until 1916. In the more than 50 years since, its clear they changed the law has not changed the reality. The jobless rate is over 15 in pittsburgh. When the United States Steel Industry collapsed in the 80s, braddock, the town that lived and died for steel was left with problems and little else except the worst air quality in the u. S. Of a. We look at wages. We look at environment am issues and we look at education. When we look at the school to prison pipeline. Mass incarceration, we see those as kind of issues in and of themselves. In reality, they are a part of the cycle of racism. Perfect example. Take my town. Black folks, most of them live there because at some point they were red lined, government policies, predatory lending. Those all assured black folks could not get into communities where there were more opportunities. So ghettos, our Supreme Court says education can be funded by the local level. Which means you live in this town. You get one educational experience. You live in a suburb, you get a vastly different one. You live in this community, you are more likely to live by an environmental hazard. We have u. S. Steel in this community. Are you more likely to live in a medical desert and a food desert. We have where we are, no grocery stores. We had a hospital that was notoriously closed down and you are less likely to have transportation in and out of your community. So you are literally and physically trapped in your community. So which means you have now bussed your kid a oneway ticket right back into that cycle. Thats simple racism. Where do you even start to begin to dismantle that . Well, you have just proven it all the way down. Go and do this. Just last year one of their facilities caught fire. The day before christmas. We didnt find out until two, three weeks later. Even me, the state rep in this area, you know, every other deposit official. We saw is that on the news. It was like, hey, there was a big fire. If you live in any of these communities we suggest you dont go outside from january to may. We are just supposed to be grateful for the jobs. Why cant we be grateful for the jobs and also be healthy . In the wake of covid19, some people wondered why black people were affected at a higher rate. Why is it three or four times as opposed to other people. It doesnt make sense. Black to the expert. Black communities generally have Adverse Health problems, which leads to respiratory issues and, oh, yeah, having a says to hess healthcare and food. No shit its going to hit you harder. This town nobody has 500 White Properties filled with empty vacant lots. Basically a ghost of what it used to be. We have to talk about what is a Community Partner .

One might think that the shared struggles would bring people closer, but, nope, balls our fears and frustrations have been used to divide us. We all know that can end in violen violence. On october 27th, 2018, an alt right supremacist south of the city killed 11 people in the Squirrel Hill neighborhood of pittsburgh at the tree of life synagogue. His manifesto blamed jewish people and immigrants for the past. This is a part of the race and hostility in america. You dont have to take my word on that i brought an expert. Are you nervous . Yeah.

If you watch cnn, and a reporter is somewhere in america talking about racism or silence, its probably sara sidner. You are in the shh it. You are running after hate. Yeah. You have to recognize that hatred often comes from a place of fear and pain. The fear is someone else is taking over and im going to be a minority. And one of the big themes of this White Supremacist Movement is the browning of america. And so im a White Supremacists worst nightmare. Not because i attack them. Because of who i am. My mother is caucasian and my father is black. I am mixed race. I am changing america. Yeah. In this town, it used to be an industrial town, good union jobs. You retired, you had a pension. Yes. Then the industrialization happens. Jobs go overseas. People start to get frustrated. Scapegoating starts . Yes. Who do you blame . You dont want to blame yourself. Right . You dont want to blame your family or your community. So you look at who could be the scapegoat . The immigrants. Even if there isnt an immigrant to be seen if your community. Yeah. They are to blame for taking my livelihood and, therefore, taking my life it gets people in this case where hatred is okay. Im just protecting myself and my family.
