- Kenyatta in Redlands California watching us on Free Speech TV.
Hey Kenyatta what's on your mind today? ~ Alright, Thom,I am I'm very sad today as a
result of what has taken place in this nation over the last few days. I'm not
the biggest USA booster in the world but I don't like to see these kinds of things.
You may recall not too long ago, some weeks ago, I mentioned to you,
you were kind of reluctant to accept it that this was coming these types of events.
And I, when Joan called, you had a caller earlier and what she
said really struck me in terms of this is a time time Thom, where the grief
should unite all good people. But yet even in this grief,
I see racism, you know, black people as she said ,we have had our churches, we've
had our little girls bombed in church a couple of years before I was born.
The 16th Street Baptist Church was bombed and always it seems that religion
has, it's this weird thing, the KKK burned crosses and we've had our
churches bombed. Dylann roof, as you know, some years ago, about three years ago
went into a black church and killed almost as many people. There were no
flags at half-staff for those black victims, as has been ordered by the
President. And in fact Dylan roof from what I understand with given food from Burger
King after he committed this this massacre. The reality is Thom, racism is
in the DNA at the United States. The United States doesn't know how to exist
without it, any more than it knows how to exist without war. And and this
country has to acknowledge the sickness this cancer that is part of this country,
before we can enter or embark upon any type of a treatment regime.
(THOM) - And we need to have an honest conversation about it. And it needs to be
led from the top down and that's certainly not a conversation that Donald
Trump is going to lead. In fact if anything he's doing the exact opposite.
(CALLER) ~ He is and I fear that this is going to unfortunately this is going to get a lot worse.
Because this again this ... I'm looking at the things that are
in the news right now and it's just amazing this country
is not evolving its revolving. if anything. We're still talking about, we're
re-litigating Roe v-- Wade all over again. I mean with the Kavanaugh thing.
I remember growing up with that. We're not this Ness I grew up with busing well,
we're not necessarily having busing, but we're defunding all the public schools.
Variation on the same thing. We still have racial violence. It's unbelievable.
(THOM) - It truly is. go ahead . .
(CALLER) ~ And it's very very sad it's very disheartening. THOM - And I think John was absolutely
right. Nate and I were talking about this we're gonna take her call and clip
it out and make it a separate YouTube and put it up later this afternoon,
because it was she was so spot-on, and what she had to say and that that white
people have to acknowledge this and and and you know and what I shared after
that call that I learned over the weekend that the last democratic
president who was elected with the majority of white votes was Lyndon
Johnson and 64 before the voter Rights Act in the Civil Rights a voter I took
it and and that shocked me frankly I didn't you know and I guess even exposed
to all this I had thought that there was more less racial sentiment in the white
community than apparently there is. Kenyatta (CALLER) ~I'm
saying you're you're absolutely right and and if if white America wanted this
stuff to stop it wouldn't stop yeah and so and it's after the conversation that
white people have to have. (THOM) - You're absolutely right and it's a conversation
that I'm trying to lead on a regular basis here.
Kenyatta thank you so much for the call.
