Okay, guys i want to watch this guys is this: is this? Isn't it to us in this boy's new channel five minutes on five you can watch this. Is this the us any any version banning this or not it's safe? I just want to welcome all of you today and thank all of you for coming out to the march for reparations to african people. Give ourselves a round of applause, i'm a descendant of settlers and i believe, in reparations in order to heal our nation. And we need to address racially based climate change in order to save our plan, and we need to address racially based climate change in order to guys, i always feel like i'm very uneducated or unaware of what's happening in the world when i watch these videos, because I i want to seem like i'm, i'm insensitive to other cultures or problems in the world, because what is what is um race? What is it racially? Based climate change? Save our planet in order to save this race and we need to give reparations before we're going to be able to heal anything, including our planets.

Yeah, hey. I appreciate you, your heart's in the right place, yo every time when you react to a youtube video. It shows up in my recommend section why people suffer more from global warming because they get more easily get sunburned. That's got ta, be a troll speaking news you're watching channel 5 with andrew callahan you're, probably wondering what you're watching i'm your host andrew callahan, and that footage was from the uhuru reparations march on the streets of oakland california.

At the time of this rally, i was a few hours without reading an anti-backs march. Here we are channel 5, live worldwide hollywood and vine freedom march, but the night before we caught wind of it. Okay, this is minorities disproportionately affected by climate issues, okay, okay, because the way the way that that is that it's worded, i feel like it's the other way around is what they mean racially based the climate change. Almost it almost feels like um somebody's fabricating the the climate change in in order to like a very important day, the next it almost feels backwards, hosted by an organization called uhuru solidarity, whose slogan is white solidarity with black power.

As white people. We have always upheld the lie that america is the home of freedom and democracy, but the reality is very different. Long before trump at the cries of fascism, african people were catching hell. Something is wrong with this reality, because every opportunity and amenity i have uh has been at the expense of my black and brown brothers and sisters around the world.

You owe money, if you don't give it we're going to come together, come to take it uh-huh and i've seen prince taken what long before trump at the cries of fascism, people were catching hell. Something is wrong with this reality, because every opportunity and amenity i have uh has been at the expense of my black and brown brothers and sisters around the world. You owe money, if you don't give it we're going to come together, come to texas and i've seen prince. Take it all right.

So while i was busy in hollywood at the anti-vaxx rally, we sent our african studies correspondent saddam to the bay area, to figure out what the hell's going on. We are here at snow park. It's uh one of the whitest parks. I've ever seen we're going to see the uhuru solidarity movement.

It's a bunch of white people that believe in african reparations. They want to give us money. So let's get some money. The united states of america was built on stolen land and stolen labor.

The african people socialist party was putting forward the figure of 4.1 trillion dollars in unpaid labor. It's really about we as white people confronting our privilege in this system and not just confronting it ideologically, but confronting it actually. By giving back, can i have five dollars? Are you serious? Yes, you got changed. Actually i don't sorry, i don't sorry, okay, next time, yeah next, next time, what's going on we're here for reparations for african people, we want reparations.

How would you like to see like reparations being used like in the black community? I think that's up to the black people and how they want to do it. That's that's true, that's true uh. Can i get five dollars. Of course, i only have a 20.

uh. Is that work that works yeah? How do you go to school? Thank you. I love you. I love you back we're with the freedom socialist party, so we're a socialist feminist anti-racist international party again coming from an anti-capitalist perspective.

We do think that redistributing the wealth is gon na need to happen man. This is a lot of words because, after after i have to go back, no apologies. That was a lot of words. I'm not that fast.

Okay, this feminist anti-racist, hey we're with the freedom socialist party, so we're a socialist guys. Listen don't get mad at me. Okay, feminist anti-racist international party um again coming from an anti-capitalist perspective. We do think that redistributing the wealth socialism is gon na need to happen for any liberation to really happen hell yeah can i have five dollars.

That's not the the the massive reparations where it comes from matters and it needs to be paid by the people that have reaped the benefits we are for reparations um. You know we are, you know actually working on a you know, a pamphlet on what you know. The specifics should be, but reparations are a just demand. You know when you have people that were stolen from their countries and then tell them.

Oh, hey, you're, free now, but we're gon na still let people you know, discriminate against you. You need to make things right through reparations and that's mega corporations, and it is the capitalist system and i don't think it's yeah i'd, give you five bucks if i had it, but i don't think it's for any individual who's part of the working class. Again, i don't have it the way. I should have it under the system either.

So it's not so much. I don't think for any working class or per person to provide that personally, but to be in a movement. That's demanding that that happen at a systemic level and again tax the rich to get schools tax, the rich to make housing tax the rich to pay for reparations. That's where i would come at it from interesting! So right now uh hello people gave speeches and now we're marching to the furniture store the uhuru furniture store.

So far i got 20 bucks, i would have got 25, but the dude didn't have change. Some of these are just broke uh. My name is ali. I yellow from oakland, california, and or i'm not stopping tagging me.

What is this? What is this weird thing? What you guys saying, yup yeah man tax, execute that this? What is it you're? Being weird? Stop tagging me some okay, i pay my taxes. What let me do call the government - hey, hey guys, hey guys. I believe i should be taxed more. He here's more taxes, i'm over by 20, just because he was more attack.

What what the do you want? What about you? What do you want? California? Talking about? California, uh since uh february of this year and i'm from new jersey, yeah all right cool, so uh. What are we doing here today? Yeah, so we're out here uh the organization that's putting this on is the uhuru solidarity movement, where an organization that works under the leadership of the african people's socialist party to organize, particularly in the white community, for reparations to african people, africa is the future. It's the youngest continent on the planet. There is so much potential there living there.

It's so dynamic, there's so much opportunity. It is literally the future. It will drive innovation from the youth and from additional investment. What are three? Your favorite things about africa? Oh okay, i was in west africa and they joke a lot with each other and so like if i'm torte and you're bali, i'd be like.

Oh you eat beans and you'd, be like oh well you're, my slave, so yeah cool uh. Can i get five dollars? I don't have any cash, but i can venmo you. I only got cash. These people, just speaking to speak.

Oh okay, cool shout out catch up cash app is the best service ever channel 5 cash app game shout out the best way to send reparations uh. If you're reincarnating, would you be white again, i want to say no, i would love to be like, but i also know that that's kind of like signing myself up for issues in life, but you know i don't know man i like being in africa. Getting free cash from idiotic socialism they're the best people they're, like so kind and cool and honest yeah focal mali. Oh, do you live in oakland now, yeah.

I do yeah. How long have you lived out here, two years, jesus so going into the rally? I didn't know what to expect. I realized that most of these people weren't even from oakland a lot of people from like virginia boston, santa cruz, san, diego and the thing about oakland. Is it's a majority black city right? Was it chocolate city, as some people would say, is that what they said? I think that's what they used to call cities like chocolate, cities or something like that.

It was a majority black population in the bay area. All the money collected at that march was supposedly going to the construction of a basketball court in st louis missouri loved basketball. No, i'm sorry, though, but that's not really going to uplift the community as much as like some type of educational institution uh, something that will help people out like free lunch programs. The basketball court seems kind of redundant to me, especially if you're in oakland oakland has become one of the hottest rental markets in the bay area.

Now people who've lived in the city for decades are getting pushed out well, the reality of gentrification is hitting oakland's lgbtq community tonight. The building that serves as headquarters for oakland pride has been sold to a real estate firm me and my daughter got rejectified to north richmond spacious lofts. In turn of the century, victorians west oakland has been a hot spot for local artists and musicians. It's kind of a quintessentially west oakland kind of a space.

The mayor of oakland announced she's, creating a special cabinet to look at housing and affordability. According to the east bay equity atlas, black community has decreased by 25 in the past 10 years, and 91 percent of low-income homes of color are currently in areas that are actively gentrifying or about to gentrify. This is a result of big tests, gentrification ability, according to the east bay she's, creating a special cabinet to look at housing and affordability. According to the east bay equity atlas, oakland's black community has decreased by 25 in the past 10 years, and 91 percent of low-income homes of color are currently in areas that are actively gentrifying or about to gentrify.

This is a result of big tech's takeover of the um. It's remodeling this oh yeah, because is this a little bit of what we saw last time with the housing on vox, where, where um they like, they like upscale, certain things and the prices go up and like it makes things that are literally just uh unaffordable and Then it makes it makes everybody like move away just by defaults. The wages for the working class have remained the same. I mean we should look and see how many basketball courts are in st louis.

It just seems extremely racist to me. I don't know a group of all white people go to historically one of the blackest cities in california. I think he's laughing, it doesn't count. They want to collect money from other white people, but like not marching through white neighborhoods and um build a basketball court.

So we can ball up in st louis missouri, yeah like on the other side of the country somewhere, where the people who donated the money will never be able to see that might come out of there. You know what i mean. Who knows if michael jackson then didn't oh missouri from the uguru solidarity basketball court, nobody in oakland will be able to be. Like i seen that kid, i grew up with him.

You know you know what are your opinions on reparations? I agree with it. I mean, as a people we've been through a lot yeah i mean all we can do is state our case sure you know what i mean just like with anything with laws, and you know rights, you know, and hopefully uh congress or or our local officials to Step in - and you know i like this perspective - hopefully do you think white people are evil. No, i ain't saying no, i'm not saying that i'm just saying some of them are, but some of them are not you think they owe us money, though i think they should. Somebody should uh.

You know, give a little something back. I think they do. As a start, i think that every black person in america deserves the right to know where we come from our ancestry and could be done with a dna from our government. It would again give us knowledge.

It will empower us to know wait a minute. Where do we come from the slave trade? Everything was lost and the government owes us to people to know where we okay, no take no take, because because we we've seen videos about about dna stuff and whatever, and and we know what what people, what the reaction is. When you bring up oh dude, we should dna this, even if, if the cause is noble and good, you know exactly how the public will react. It's not a take.

This is the reality. You know exactly how people are when they hear those words they're gon na go. Oh my god. Oh my god.

It's just a way. The way to get to get controlled holy dna did own. Let's, like i don't know, come from uh. What are your thoughts on reparations? I think, ideally it is old, but in reality i don't believe that it will happen.

How do you put an amount on and where do you? Where does it start and where does it stop? So how do you calculate? I miss america will be bankrupt right. What if i just started asking white people for money? No, absolutely not! I think that's a federal government thing we just could start asking. You know people who are money, isn't he he doesn't owe me anything. I got 20 so far.

Why buy is not gon na be you know some sort of welfare check from the u.s government, because how could a welfare check or some sort of payout or something like that ever meet the dollar amount? That's been stolen from african people. How do you define what george floyd's life was worth? You know in terms of the culture that he brought to the family, his role as a father and what he brought to his community so who controls where all the money goes when y'all collect reparations, the furniture store? Okay got again, i want to get too political. Get a lot of crazy takes, but but this i like, i don't know, okay, i'm not saying anything. I feel like i'm not in my depth, i'll just watch a video for the contents to raise money for the movement um.

They also have great stuff, like i bought a lot of stuff from here, and so what does the furniture store do with the money? Well, i don't know exactly how they use the money, but i think they use it for like the same kind of thing that we're marching for today to to build resources um and to invest in the black community in the us yeah. Does it go to the uh, the basketball court, i'm not sure? Okay? This is my first time volunteering yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, interesting that was um, yeah dude. What a video jesus okay give me.
