Transcript

0:04I want to bring attention to a troubling story that we're following here. Nolan Wells vanished on a Mississippi Island. His case joins a troubling list of suspicious black deaths. The black college freshman disappeared after a boating trip with white friends. Now his family and activists are pressing authorities for answers. Wells, an 18-year-old black college football player, went out on a boat with a group of friends on the 4th of July to celebrate at Horn Island off the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The friends came back, but Nolan did not. They say he wanted to stay on the island and catch a boat ride home with another group, but his phone was left behind on the boat.

0:52He was reported missing by his mother that night. And two days later, a park ranger found his body in the water off the tip of the island. And the reason, number one, this is so sad and so disturbing, but I want you to imagine the skin colors reversed here. If in this picture, put that main picture back up, Kylie. If no one were white and these three white kids were black, how would the national corporate media be treating this story? How would they be treating that if the white kid was left and not checked on and not found for two days? How would this story be presented to the American public?

1:41Well, it would be presented that it was absolutely the most tragic event, and it is the most tragic event. But what is tragic about it is that there are so many other cases like this. And the entitlement of these other boaters, I mean, the whole bullshit story about he wanted to leave, stay on the island, but his phone's on the boat. Everybody knows a millennial is not going to have be away from their phone or I'm sorry, Gen Z is not going to be away from their phone. So it's tragic that in my opinion, in Mississippi, this kind of thing would have been completely ignored, but for the grasswell of support on social media, because there is just a different tier of justice for black people and white people, people that are poor versus people that are privileged in this country.

2:35And it is nowhere more obvious and distinct than in the Bible Belt states. Yeah. And there's a different tier of media coverage when there is a black, a crime against a black person. And I don't know if this is a crime, but this stinks to high heaven. The white boys all lawyered up immediately. And BET has the latest reporting on the case popped this up. The investigation into Nolan Wells' death is raising more questions than answers. The family of 18-year-old Nolan Wells recently retained civil rights lawyer Ben Crump to get answers about his death at Horn Island. Crump is calling for full transparency as questions and conversations arise about what happened during the 4th of July boating trip.

3:24While authorities say foul play is not currently suspected, the investigation remains active and an official cause of death has not yet been released. Ben Crump also served as attorney for the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Ahmoud Aubrey, and Michael Brown. Crump said in a statement that his office will conduct an independent review of the circumstances surrounding Wells' death. And I'm going to just speak personally here as a person who grew up and raised kids in the Bible Belt. I have two sons. And the amount of times that my sons came home and told me that they were around a group of boys, white boys, that weren't their normal people that they hung out with.

4:12And how these groups of boys just used the N-word with reckless disregard. and said very, very racist things and how disturbing it was to my kids and how then it was disturbing to me. And then I would mention this to other people and it's just like, ah, this has to be a group effort. We cannot continue to raise kids, white boys that think they're better than black boys. We just can't do it. And at the end of the day, The difference between MAGA and those of us that care about social justice is when they see Black people, they get mad. When I see Black people, I see their color. I see their struggle.

5:00And I want to be an ally. And I have always spoken out about this with every fiber in me because racism starts on a local level. and the silence and acquiescence that parents and other kids allow to happen is just appalling. It has always sickened me to the core of my existence. Well, as you know, I sent my kids to as what you call a hate academy where racism was accepted. It was coming from the parents. It was when it was actively played out in public spaces in the school, it was not treated with the intensity that it should have been, because again, it's accepted. And I agree with you. I can't change the world, but I can change what's happening at my house.

5:49And then hopefully my children and your children will be able to change minds in their circles. But the reality is it's institutionalized in these Bible Belt states, in Christian schools, in government. We're seeing it in the federal government right now with this push to repeal DEI when we're mad that Lloyd Austin was the Secretary of Defense as decorated and experienced as he was. And we picked Pete Hexdath off a headshot in Fox News, and he's run the Department of Defense like one of the many nonprofits that he ran into the ground. It's unbelievable the tolerance as a society that we have, especially in Bible Belt states.

6:32And now it's in the federal government. So you just mentioned it's institutionalized. Pop up this next headline, Kylie. Secretary Sean Duffy posts, remember when Biden and boot edge edge used your money for DEI bike lanes and climate change? That's over. I just redirected$1.73 billion in USDOT grants away from Biden-era DEI pet projects. Now this funding is officially locked in to fix America's actual backbone roads, bridges, shipping and ports. Okay. Number one, the infrastructure act that Biden and Pete boot edge edge pushed forward, the people like Duffy opposed, and then now they want to take claim, take praise for all of this.

7:26But Joe Biden, and I disagreed with the way he handled Donald Trump, I think it's Joe Biden's fault and Merrick Garland's fault that we're here, that they didn't prosecute Donald Trump and put this fucker in prison. It pisses me off to the core of my being. But Joe Biden had one of the most diverse cabinets and staff at the White House has ever seen. And again, I want to point out the difference. There are people in this world, when they see black success or brown success, they get mad. That's a fundamental moral character flaw that they see that and it angers them. Because when I see people successful, and especially when it's a black person, knowing how racist white people can be, I'm especially in awe.

8:16Because it's like, man, against all odds, they were able to go and ascend to this level of success. And we have to see people's color and we have to celebrate people's color and not play games with all of this. I don't see color. I mean, it's just see their color, see their blackness, see if somebody was an immigrant. What journey they had to go through to find success, to find stability. These are the things that connect us all together. And then MAGA is just a it's just a racist party. It just is. And here's Marsha Blackburn. How hard am I going to crack down on China? Well, here's a clue. Marsha Blackburn worked with President Trump to take on communist China.

8:58As governor, Marsha will fight to protect Tennessee land from Chinese front companies. that's just it's not only are these people like idiots like that's just not even enjoyable to watch like you think you're a badass marcia blackburn because you're crumpling up fortune cookies and what a badass let's go vote for marcia she took on a basket of fortune cookies i mean it's just so stupid i just i fucking hate these people well and oklahoma they're chopping bananas and have to say how much they're against trans people. I mean, I just, I think they're appealing to the lowest intellectual. I mean, they're going for the deep seated racism.

9:43I mean, I'm in Oklahoma. All the ads are, we need to take back our country. From who? You have it. Oklahoma has it. So this is all just for the lower intellect, the people that just want to fear, like you always say, they fear other people. They fear other people's success. If they see somebody has success, they're like, it should have been mine, despite the fact that I'm not as good. I am mediocre at best, but it has to always be somebody's fault. And there's nobody that cries victim and oppression more than Donald Trump, who has been the president of the United States twice. Yet he still feels like that he is so aggrieved and that he gets to be a victim of everybody else.

10:25It's just it's a stunning case study of how far the United States has fallen. Really, when it goes back to citizens like we have failed to be good people. Yeah. And I would just say Fox News and the megachurch boom of the 80s and this continuation of the white grievance culture is on steroids now under Donald Trump. because when a lot of people saw Barack Obama ascend, they felt angry, like we can't have a black president. These same people are the same people that had a problem in the NFL when black men started becoming quarterbacks, because traditionally white men were quarterbacks. And there's this part of white culture where it's assumed, and it's so subconsciously injected into everybody that these are the roles that white people have.

11:25And these are the roles that black people have. And you can look no further than Charlie Kirk when he talked about if he got on an airplane and there was a black pilot, he would have a problem with that. And this is just accepted language in here. And it gets worse. Here's Nancy Mace, who I think needs to be in a straight jacket in a padded cell. Here she is on Twitter with just some really troubling racist shit. Pop this up. So the New York Post says activists demand Black English be pushed on kids in California preschools. And Representative Nancy Mace just takes off her KKK hood and just steps right in it and says, we looked up examples of black English sentences.

12:15He be working late on Tuesdays. I'm finna go get some food. And I'm not going to read the rest of them. But I just want to say this, Nancy Mace, black people have a culture, right? You don't. Your whole culture, your whole identity is clinging on to mediocrity to push down other people and try to make everybody be exactly like you. The best thing about the United States of America is multiculturalism. It's the coolest thing that we have going for us. It is amazing. It is incredible. And I stand by my one long viral clip from a year or so ago. If you're so against all this shit, quit watching football, Quit watching basketball.

13:03Quit eating at Mexican restaurants. Quit enjoying multiculturalism. Go watch croquet. Go watch UFC. Go do only white people shit. Go listen to Kid Rock. Go eliminate it. If you don't like it, you personally eliminate multiculturalism for your life and go taste and suck on that vanilla saltine cracker for life. So you all go do that. The difference is I'm not trying to make you like multiculturalism, but you want all of us to hate as much as you hate. And at the end of the day, I don't hate people of color. I think it's cool. I think it's awesome that despite how crusty and snotty and uptight and ridiculous, all these crusty motherfuckers like veggie boy, Mitch McConnell are, that people find joy despite that and live in this country and create culture and they have their own, uh, uh, vibe of language.

13:58I think it's cool as shit. And so take your shit, Nancy Mace, go put on your KKK hood, go to your mega church and be a nut. That's your right. I'm going to fight for your right to do that, but don't push all of your racism onto everybody else because I will never, ever, ever want to be a crusty white motherfucker like you. I've lived in those circles. They're boring. Multiculturalism is a million times better. Well, and they're also patently unhappy. Look at Stephen Miller, who is the leader of Get Rid of the Immigrants. All he did during Donald Trump, during Biden's administration, was file lawsuits on behalf of white people being discriminated against.

14:43Not only are they inferior and insecure, they're angry all the time. They put all their energy into hate. And the only way we can get away from that is to embrace each other. And I think you're 100 % right. It's got to start in here and scoop out locally. Yeah, it has to start on a local level. And I just think the best thing that we can do is when you see racism, when you hear racism in white circles, stand up. Because at the end of the day, nobody really wants to be called a racist. I mean, the Republicans are racist, but they get triggered when we put a mirror up to them. Because it is ugly.

15:27It is vile. Everybody knows it's bullshit. It's a mean, cruel, systemic practice that has to end. And I think that we will continue to flirt with fascism for a long, long time until we reconcile our very racist past as a country. All right, please do me a favor, pre-order my book. It's called Not Today Fascists. I talk about the Bible Belt and white culture incubating a world where we ignore black voices, which further incubates fascism. I talk about all sorts of stuff. Do me a favor, pre-order it. It helps more than you know, and we'll be back later with more news. Thank you.
