Chapter 3: What insights are shared about the NAACP Awards?
Because how else are you going to get people to buy into a system that they're skeptical of if you don't show them that there is success and conformity? But this is also why the entertainers of yesteryear were so revolutionary. You don't get a James Brown, I'm black and I'm proud if he worried about conforming and he bought his own jet. Living in America.
Now the fall off, it happens to the best of them. You don't get the Olympics. See, you niggas is at the Olympics with the hockey team giving yourself a champagne shower. My Olympians won first and second place and raised their fists up in the air. Because being a radical and a revolutionary is a default setting for most black people in America.
Because we've always been skeptical of the system because we knew this system wasn't never meant to serve us. Meant to persecute us. Meant to brutalize us. But not to serve us. So being empathetic to the plight of others and pro-oppressed people is a great posture to take. It is a great position for the ally, but it's often performative.
So while it may be a good position to be an ally and pro-oppressed people, it's often a performance that leads black people to fight their fights alone.
I don't think I heard too many people, especially white people, doing anything but making excuses for the white man with Tourette's that happened to call Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan the hard R. And it said that that wasn't the first time that happened that night. Now, there were other slurs, homophobic slurs said that night. Those got bleeped out. They were a man that said free Palestine.
That happened to get bleeped out. Nigger. Leave it in. Leave it in. Then we get to the contrast is the NAACP awards. These men were celebrated. Celebrated rightfully so. Celebrated by their own people. Which is why I believe we should be like 2026. Yeah. To 2027, any award shows, that's not our shit. We should be boycotting. Hell, you win, they might not air it anyway. We should be boycotting.
But to be woke, to be woke, staying woke, regardless of how they try to bastardize the term, is a default setting for most black people. and a moral position for allies. Even if it is performative, it is a great posture to have. But the moral position is only respected by moral people. So to take a moral position means that you need morality on the opposite end to receive that.
And that's why we struggle to see tangible progress, but we're constantly massaged by symbolic victories. Because our government and the people who control policy and legislation are largely immoral and largely can suppress the access to change. So we'll massage you with some symbolic victories. We'll name the street Martin Luther King Jr.
Boulevard while trying to undo everything he fought for on the civil rights. And worse than that, Most oppressed people have an idea of freedom that puts them in the seat of the oppressor. Most oppressed people's idea of freedom is being an oppressor. And this is largely the reason for our diaspora wars. Because what we're really arguing about is Who's got more culture?

Chapter 6: What does it mean to recognize trauma in a war machine?
All my brothers that joined the military for some stability, some structure in Camaro, it's game time. This nigga just got on the news and said, some of y'all gonna have to die. Seen a young lady post the lunch. They giving out crab legs. You know, Godspeed. And draft Barron Trump. Big Cat. Yo. What we talking about, man? I got some more shit to talk to you niggas, man.
I got some more shit to say to you niggas, man. This woke position, you know what I'm saying? It's good. It's a great stance to take. But how many people in this country is it not a stance for? Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's great to have empathy and it's great to garner empathy for oppressed people. That's a great position to take. But how many people have to have that as a default setting for survival?
And what does it mean to live in a war machine?
Chapter 7: How does love relate to revolution in a war machine?
This year marks the 250th anniversary of America. 226 of those years spent in armed conflict. This is a war machine. 250 years old, 250 years of state violence against its own citizens. Founded on violence against its own citizens, but were considered property back then. Used to ship in migrants, vagrants to be used for labor and then assume violence against them. What is a war machine?
A war machine will bomb and destabilize your country, organize a coup in your country, replace the leader with somebody for their own interests, send the citizens fleeing, grant them asylum, and then criminalize their existence. That's a war machine. Send you fleeing, open up the doors, and tell you it's illegal to be inside. That's a war machine. 98% of its existence spent in armed conflict.
And those 22 years of peace wasn't peaceful for the people who lived here. Wasn't peaceful for black people. So you can't even consider it peace. We'll be right back at this commercial break. I got some more shit to talk, but I need to update these notes. Nothing hits like home cooking.
And HelloFresh makes it easy to do more of it this year with recipes that feel good, taste delicious, night after night. Listen, y'all know I love good food. but I do not love figuring out what to cook every single day. And HelloFresh really takes the pressure off. It makes dinner feel intentional instead of stressful.
And with three kids to feed, I'm not trying to walk into that kitchen with no stress. There's something about cooking at home that just feels grounding. Whether it's a busy weeknight or you got people over, HelloFresh makes it simple and actually enjoyable. They have more than 100 recipes every week And I'm talking cuisines from around the world.
So you're not stuck eating the same thing over and over. And right now, especially when it's cold and you just want something comforting, they've got options that really hit. And the portions, bigger, so everybody eats. One thing I really appreciate is that they have more than 35 high-protein recipes every week, including new Mediterranean and GLP-1-friendly options. And the ingredients...
Wholesome, sustainably sour seafood, 100% antibiotic and hormone-free chicken. You're eating real food, period. They now have three times the seafood with no upcharge. And you can even level up with grass-fed ribeye steaks if you're trying to impress somebody or just treat yourself.
And another thing I really love is that they use seasonal produce like pears, apple, asparagus, so the meals feel fresh and intentional. Because when dinner tastes this good, nothing hits like home cooking. I actually use HelloFresh, and I wouldn't tell y'all about it if I didn't like it. It's one of those things that just makes my life easier.
