Lady Mprez Presents: Real Talk (Episode XXXVI, Part II)

On this part II Episode of Lady Mprez Presents, she picks back up on her discussion of Charlie Kirk, Israel & Palestine, and media narratives. She starts this episode off by discussing an old podcast she did referencing to the Dancehall clash (Gaza vs Gully) between Mavado & Vybz Kartel, and relates it to the fact that Charlie Kirk cannot control who his audience is. She expresses that you can’t blame a white man for being a white man. She talks about how media is the true evil-doer here and how it has contributed a part in how different communities think about one another. She utilizes the recent killing of Iryna by Decarlos to ask the question, “Can Black People Be Racist”? She gives her view on Black people being racist by referencing to an old podcast where she discussed Black Privilege, Haitian Day and Cracker Day in Florida. She then briefly touches on racism on a systematic level regarding the Afrikaans/White South Africans. She feels due to the indoctrinations and how Black history is taught in America, that it causes Black Americans to not feel proud of their culture. She talks about living between an American and Caribbean culture and how she felt proud when her father taught her Black history, but felt depressed when she started learning Black history in the States. She said she wouldn’t mind schools doing away with Black history month due to the way Westerners teach it. This leads into her overall point of how this indoctrination has caused Black communities to become stagnant due to their past. She asked a question along the lines of “If Black people were never taught about slavery, how would our communities be today?” She expresses that because of being taught this ideology throughout American school systems, that some Black Americans end up developing a cultural mindset that makes them think less of themselves and conditions them to have a “victim mindset”. She talks about Black people holding other Black people accountable the way they hold white people and the system accountable. She talks about how she is over our communities being mad at “the White Man” but not mad at the Black people in power that are investing into Black people’s downfall. She states that some of these Black people representing are doing more damage with their influence and power than “the white man”….
