Who is Officer Tatum and what four claims does he make?
I feel like you want to be confrontational more than you want to get to the bottom of a conversation. If you're 25 and under, the leading cause of death for you is being murdered by another black person. Thank you, foolish. That is the whole thesis of Up From Slavery. No, it's not. Did you read the book? I did not read the book. There you go. Then you don't know what you're talking about. You are uneducated. To say that Donald Trump is racist is the craziest thing I've heard. Donald Trump? Oh, my God. Have you ever met Donald Trump?
Is systemic racism holding the Black community back, or has it become an excuse to avoid personal responsibility? Now, John was a little too white to handle this topic, so you got me. I'm Paris Rose from Jubilee Media, and this is Surrounded, where one brave soul faces a room full of disagreeers. Today, we're diving into policing in Black communities, whether Republicans are better for the Black community than Democrats, and the debate over systemic racism. I'm here with our featured guest, former police officer and conservative commentator, Brandon Tatum. I'm so happy to see you today. How you feeling?
I'm good. I'm blessed. I'm happy.
All right, you ready to take everyone on?
Oh, we about to get busy in here.
Oh, I love to hear. You guys, are you guys ready? Yeah! They sound ready. All right, let's go.
Hi, I'm Officer Tatum, and I'm the host of The Officer Tatum Show, and I'm surrounded by Black liberals. My first surrounded claim is Trump and Republicans are better for the Black community than Democrats.
If you'd like to be the first debater, get to that chair in three, two, one.
Naima, nice to meet you.
Naima? Nice to meet you as well.
Before I do my rebuttal, I would just like to know why you think that.
Well, there's a myriad of reasons. I think that conservative policies are more beneficial to the black community, is more beneficial to America, which black people are part of America. And I think that policies like limiting immigration or illegal immigration, getting illegal immigrants out of this country, lowering taxes, all benefit black people as a whole. Religious freedom, you name it, every single policy that I can think about that Republicans have implemented, that they stand for, the values they stand for are all better off for black people than Democrats could ever dream of.
First of all, religious freedom is not just a Republican policy. That's just in the Constitution.
Republicans believe in the freedom of religion that Democrats could ever dream of.
I don't want to harp on that. That's in the Constitution.
That's just not true.
But I just want to focus on which one of Trump's policies specifically has been designed to help the black community.
Well, the First Step Act has been designed to reverse the effects of over-policing from the past.
Yeah, it's done that.
The First Step Act. Yes, it was. Okay. To allow for people who were incarcerated with sentencing for drug dealing and less violent crimes for them to have some relief. My uncle got out on the First Step Act. Okay. Urban revitalization.
Yeah.
injecting money into these inner city communities. Permanent funding for HBCUs, which Barack Obama never did. Donald Trump implemented. I mean, I can go down a list. And I think that lowering taxes and all the other benefits that Americans get is also beneficial to black people.
So it's funny because I've watched some of your videos, I've heard these talking points before, and I actually looked into all of these. And there's not a ton of quantitative impact on how those have actually affected just the black community. But let's talk about the Republican Party and Trump and his policies as a whole. Do you think that Trump reposting a video in which one of his supporters screams white power was beneficial to the black community?
I'm not familiar with some video that he posted.
Well, I mean, you should be, though.
Let's talk about Democrat policy. You should be, though. Let's talk about Democrat policy.
No, see, no, no, no, no, no. Now you're obfuscating.
