On the heels of the attack on a woman on a public transit bus, the Black Lives Matter movement is using a clip from the 1983 film, "Born in Flames" to justify their right to use violence. They claim that Black people have a "right to violence" and that all oppressed people do.

00:01:00.000It's crazy that this degree of violence exists. And the question is, how do you stop it?
00:01:07.040Yeah, that's the million-dollar question. That's why no politician is willing to even tackle the issue because it's harder than just a 30-minute fix.
00:01:14.960You cannot fix and unravel what has been infused into the community for decades now.
00:01:20.860You're not going to fix it in 10, 15 years. This is a complete overhaul of an entire identity in a group of people.
00:01:27.620Here's the story from Mediaite. This man was hurting, said CNN's Van Jones, about the killer who stabbed a Ukrainian refugee to death.
00:01:40.660Let me just say a couple of things. One is, what happened to that young woman was horrible.
00:01:45.720And it's everybody's nightmare if you're in any public space, subway, whatever, that something bad is going to happen to you or somebody you care about.
00:01:53.140So it does strike a chord. We don't know why that man did what he did.
00:01:58.200We get it. He says the killer was hurting, and we don't know why he did it. Despite the fact, on video, he says, I got that white girl. Apparently, he says it twice. That's what it sounds like. Now we have this. Listen to this.
00:02:23.940You have a right to violence. All oppressed people have a right to violence. And I'm going to tell you something. It's like the right to pee. You got to have the right place. You got to have the right time. You got to have the appropriate situation. And I'm absolutely convinced that this is it.
00:02:39.660This clip was posted by Black Lives Matter just the other day as this national conversation is emerging.
00:02:47.120This is from a film, 1983, called Born in Flames. It's a feminist, communist propaganda piece, and they are justifying their right to use violence at a time when we're talking about a man who killed a young white girl who's not from this country, who's not a colonizer, who did nothing wrong.
00:03:04.000So, I'm going to be bringing in Brandon Tatum. He knows a lot about this. He's the expert. Let's pull him in and see if we get this going. It looks like it should be working just fine. Let's boot it up.
00:03:22.840Loading. Hey, Brandon, can you hear me?
00:03:33.300Did you see this video that Black Lives Matter posted? It's this clip from a movie in the 80s where a black woman says, we have a right to violence. All oppressed people do. They posted it just the other day.
00:03:45.560Yeah, I saw a little bit of clip of it. I didn't want to watch it all because it was so ridiculous, but I saw a tomorrow clip of it.
00:03:51.300We also have that clip from Van Jones where he said, we don't know why this killer did it. And this killer was hurting.
00:03:58.780So, I mean, you've got experience, obviously, with crime, law enforcement, all that stuff. I'm curious your thoughts on the game that they're playing. But seriously, this statement from BLM, we know what they're trying to say. It's kind of freaky.
00:04:12.640Well, it's not shocking to me. As a black man, it's not shocking. And to most black people in America that got common sense of this being honest, it's not shocking that the lack of concern that black people have in situations like this.
00:04:27.920If this was the roles were reversed, and many people would admit to this, it would be outrage. People would be in the streets. People would be screaming and spitting on each other, protests, burning buildings and all kind of stuff if the roles were reversed.
00:04:40.500But in this particular scenario, even on the bus, even on the transit system, you had everybody around them were black. And he didn't stab nobody but her. Then allegedly, he mentioned, I got that white girl. And then none of the black people did anything to help her.
00:04:58.540But initially, they just, oh, it ain't none of my business. White girl gets attacked. It ain't none of my business. And so it's not shocking to me. And when you talk about the Black Lives Matter scenario where they said the quiet part out loud, the reason that I know that this is the true feeling of how black people feel, generically speaking, is because I used to feel this way.
00:05:20.780I had the mind virus of hating white people. Growing up, feeling like all white people hated me. And slavery played a big part of it. The police played a big part of it. And when you're infected with that mind virus, all you see is white people bad, white people bad.
00:05:37.400So every interaction you have is subconsciously you're thinking in your mind that this is a negative interaction and the white people are doing something against me, even if they're not doing nothing against you.
00:05:47.300The fact that white people are succeeding is an affront to black people when you grow up generically. Not every black person is like this. I mean, generally speaking, this is how black people feel.
00:05:56.520So I'm not shocked that we don't see backlash. I'm not shocked that people get on TV and try to make excuses for this guy.
00:06:03.740They they they've been telling us for decades and especially in the 2010s with wokeness, DEI, that there is this plague of white supremacy in the country.
00:06:12.820It's in it's entrenching the ideas that that you just explained. And so, you know, Viva Fry the other day was saying you've got this guy who's clearly schizophrenic or mentally ill, whatever it is that's going on.
00:06:23.520And then for a decade, he's told by the corporate press, by the media that he's being hunted on a daily basis by white people.
00:06:30.940And this is what you get. So it's like everything you just said, but then you add on this this tenfold attack by the media.
00:06:39.820And it seems like you are going to get more attacks like this. And, you know, now there's a conversation popping up around interracial violence where, you know, Will Cain talked about it.
00:06:51.860Matt Walsh is talking about it. I'm curious your thoughts on this as part of the conversation that black on what black on white violence is 26 times higher than white on black violence.
00:07:01.780Do you think that's because of these narratives and that feeling you describe a thousand percent when you were raised to view white people from the lens of people who created slavery, which is how most people are receiving this information about slavery and they're evil and they're conquerors all over the country, all over the world.
00:07:23.440They conquered Native Americans. These are evil, evil white people. And what did they do to our ancestors?
00:07:30.820They hung them from trees. They mutilated them. Jim Crow. When this is punched into your brain and then every time you get pulled over by a white cop and you're black, they just gun you down like an animal.
00:07:42.520You feel oppressed. You feel angry. You feel vengeful. And it's all a lie. But what happens is that vengeance and that that hatred and somewhat fear causes you to be extra aggressive towards white people.
00:07:57.940I remember when I was younger and I felt like black people were better than white people and I felt like white people were inferior and I looked at white men as cowards and I would love an opportunity to put my hands on a white guy if I had the opportunity to because my mind was caught up on what this is what y'all done did to my people all these years.
00:08:19.380When a white, when a bad thing would happen to a white person, I used to feel like, why do we care? They didn't care about us. You get what I'm saying, Tim?
00:08:28.760And like, this is what happens and this is why we see the numbers the way we do, in part. The other part of it is culture of violence amongst black people.
00:08:38.720Because one of the reasons why I felt like I was stronger, better, and, you know, most black people think we'll just dust these white boys off and they're nowhere near as strong and violent as we are.
00:08:51.300And that's because the part is true. A lot of us grew up in traumatic households, grew up without a father, with anger issues, not understanding how to...
00:09:00.480Hey, this is Dan Harris, host of the 10% Happier podcast. I'm here to tell you about a new series we're running this September on 10% Happier. The goal is to help you do your life better.

00:09:38.300Handle our emotions. In some cases, getting abused. Because when I was growing up, you get beat with switches and extension cords and all kind of other stuff that stems from these poor black neighborhoods.
00:09:49.680So you grow up with aggressiveness and violence. And therefore, you know, when the rubber hit the road, you see what happened where they knocked the woman out. It's stomping the white people out in the middle of the street.
00:10:00.080And Tim, this is just black violence against white. Black on black is even worse. If you go to my Instagram story right now, I show two videos of young black men just gunning each other down in the middle of the street, broad daylight.
00:10:15.920I mean, no mask. They're not even really running away from the crime. Walking up on a brother and just unloading on him. It was one situation in Chicago. Kid riding his bike. And they call it his ops. They jump out of cars by four or five of them. They all gunning him down with fully automatic weapons. I mean, they standing over him, shooting him, I don't know, a hundred times.
00:10:37.820They call it ops, you said? Yeah, yeah. It's short for opposition. Like, you know, the people who are ops are people who are against you. And it's just kind of short for opposition.
00:10:49.160Nick Shirley went to Chicago recently. He went to like gangland and he went and he embedded with this rapper and they were saying exactly that. I didn't quite understand what it meant. I'm from Chicago. I've not heard that term. And he was saying, we got to be careful. We got ops.
00:11:05.180And then I was like, ops. What is what is that? You know, here's the crazy thing. Like in Chicago is exactly what you were talking about. This is exactly what Nick Shirley was filming.
00:11:14.120They're walking around with guns. They got switches. They got full auto. They talk about the gas station is where you go to basically die because they just go there. They just shoot and kill each other.
00:11:23.460And it's not even about being in a gang. It's just you might you'll have a beef. And so you'll get caught up in it. Someone will shoot at somebody else.
00:11:29.520It's crazy that this degree of violence exists. And the question is, how do you stop it?
00:11:36.540Yeah, that's a bit. That's the million dollar question. That's why no politician is willing to even tackle the issue, because it's harder than just a 30 minute fix.
00:11:44.600You cannot fix and unravel what has been infused into the community for decades now.
00:11:50.220You're not going to fix it in 10, 15 years.
00:11:52.200This is a complete overhaul of an entire identity in a group of people.
00:11:57.480I mean, the political leaders won't even say anything about it.
00:12:01.460How many black leaders do you see on both sides of the spectrum that are saying this was wrong with that man?
00:12:06.340Stab that white girl like that. And they're out here protesting.
00:12:08.800You won't see a single black leader doing it, except if they're conservative.
00:12:12.900Black Lives Matter posted a video saying we have a right to violence.
00:12:18.660That's the same organization that do nothing for black people.
00:12:21.540Mind you this, they create hatred and cause black people to hate white people and become violent.
00:12:27.160They justify black violence, so therefore more young brothers are incarcerated.
00:12:30.840They glorify drug dealing and George Floyd behavior, so more black people are participating in behavior and doing time in prison.
00:12:37.100And then when they get money extracted from the wealthy white class of America and corporations, what do they do with the money?
00:12:43.520They enrich themselves and go buy houses. They didn't give no money to George Floyd.
00:12:47.280They gave no money to Michael Brown family. They gave no money to Breonna Taylor family.
00:12:50.520They've given no money and made no difference in the black community.
00:12:53.620They just extract it. And that's all they do.
00:12:56.480So you were talking about how when you were growing up, you had this resentment towards white people that was like you were raised with.
00:13:03.400In your community, was there like a positive reinforcement?
00:13:07.240So like with this guy stabbing this young woman, you see that initially everyone just looks and they're like, I'm not getting involved, right?
00:13:15.080I've heard stories like that. I'm wondering if there's actually even worse than that.
00:13:17.640Is there like a positive reinforcement where someone else who's black and feels that way says good?
00:13:24.860You're saying a positive reinforcement mean reinforcing the poor behavior in a black community?
00:13:29.520Let's say that there's like a black neighborhood and some dude just hates a white person.
00:14:19.840I think they raised close to a million dollars.
00:14:21.140And then not only did they raise the money, Tim, what were the comments that were said under the raising of the money?
00:14:28.660And if you go anywhere now, because it was so egregious what this guy did to this white girl, but go to the black blogs, go to some of these things.
00:14:37.080I guarantee you, I will put my life on it and all of my wealth that you will find people on these posts saying, so what?
00:14:46.040Look at what they did all these years.
00:14:47.760There's one viral post that people are sharing from X where someone said, it said, we even for George Floyd now.
00:14:54.360And it showed a picture of the girl being murdered as if, and it's just, it's insane.
00:14:59.400They, you know, Van Jones comes out and says, how dare Charlie Kirk race monger?
00:15:03.880It's like, bro, there's nothing racial about the George Floyd killing.
00:15:07.640It was cops of various ethnic backgrounds and a black man who died.
00:15:10.760And there was no evidence that it was racially motivated, but they decided it was in this instance, dude is on video.
00:15:16.980And it sounds like he says, I'm being careful, but it does sound like he says, I got that white girl.
00:15:24.080And this is what, this is what ruins the reputation of most black people, because I, there's a lot of black people out there that say, this is an atrocity.
00:15:35.180But the problem is that there's enough black people that are saying the opposite in such an egregious way.
00:15:40.560And there's enough black people who are political leaders and people who are on television.
00:15:44.400I mean, on the episode where he said that the only two, the three dummies on the show, two of them were black.
00:15:50.180And so it seems disproportionate that black people have this sentiment and they're hypocrites because we know, like you said, George Floyd had nothing to do with race.
00:16:00.280Um, Eric Garner had nothing to do with race.
00:16:03.960None of these police shootings had anything to do with race.
00:16:06.720The problem is that there ain't no black cops to kill you.
00:16:10.060So if you're going to die, it's only the white men patrolling your community because y'all don't even plot to be a police officers in many of these cities.
00:17:01.080It's funny because in Chicago, you know what they do?
00:17:04.020When the crime gets really bad in these black areas, they just bulldoze all the buildings and flatten them and turn them into, turn it to dirt.
00:17:13.080Hundred years of Democrat political supermajority in Chicago and these areas that are high crime and they have this, this culture of violence.
00:17:20.800They just say, eventually, you know what, just kick everybody out by force.
00:17:33.300It was a trick because they don't want to deal with the problem.
00:17:35.720They don't want to figure out because you know what it is.
00:18:05.720They can't come out publicly and say, hey, these black neighborhoods have a high violence problem and we want to figure out how to solve it.
00:18:11.860So we're going to need law enforcement because it's offensive.
00:18:15.000It offends the sensibilities of the modern left, including these uppity white liberals.
00:18:19.000So instead, they announced they're doing beautification and repairs.
00:18:23.260That way everybody can clap and pat each other on the back, bulldoze all the houses, walk away and never fix it.
00:18:29.480And all that does is it makes the problem get worse every day.
00:18:33.360Tim Pool, let's put this in perspective real quick.
00:18:35.900When you look at the homicides, most of the homicides that are committed, a majority of the homicides, which mean the brown, I've seen numbers of 48 to 51 percent are committed by black people.
00:18:48.320Now, the majority of those people who were killed by black people, the 50 percent, 98 percent are black.
00:18:54.960Yeah. So majority of half of the murders are black people murdering other black people.
00:19:01.360If we put police officers, just say we doubled the number on the south side, you only have to be all over Chicago.
00:19:07.240You live in Chicago. All of Chicago isn't bad.
00:19:10.200It's just these areas, mostly black areas that are war zones.
00:19:15.180If you had a cop on every corner, people won't be committing crimes like this.
00:19:19.180It's opportunistic. They know there's no cops there.
00:19:22.160They know they can kill a brother and nobody's going to snitch.
00:19:24.660And the arrest rates and conviction rates of homicides against black people are like 80 percent of them go unsolved.
00:19:32.620You know what's really weird is that you're exactly right.
00:19:36.480The majority of the crime, it's not, it's intraracial.
00:19:39.620These young black men, it's and you know, we say like majority of the murders are black people.
00:19:44.160It's actually black, young black men and they're killing other young black men.
00:19:48.080And for some reason, Chicago being a great example, after 100 years, Democrats couldn't solve the problem.
00:19:53.400But I'll tell you what they're really good at doing, putting planned parenthoods in black neighborhoods.
00:19:58.040And I'm thinking about I'm like, man, they should do a lot of policies that kill black people and reduce the black population.
00:20:26.400Disproportionately are represented in violence, murder, being murdered, incarceration, poverty, low education.
00:20:35.100And instead of us saying, hey, man, we need to get back to the joint board and start worrying about white people and start worrying about black people in the inner city, black, black youth, marriage.
00:20:45.780All of a sudden we need to start getting back to getting into God and the church.
00:20:49.100We started blaming the point of the finger at the white man.
00:20:52.340We mad at the white man for telling the truth instead of addressing the truth.
00:20:55.440We've had a Trump for want to call in the National Guard to end the violence in black cities.
00:21:01.000Instead of them doing it, they mad at Trump for doing it.
00:21:05.000They claim that the right are the racists when they're actually enacting policies that are making everything worse from like the welfare policies to, as I mentioned, keeping like the cops don't go in these areas.
00:21:14.860And these are democratically appointed police departments in these cities.
00:21:18.100And then the left narrative is that the white people are bad.
00:21:21.580But the funny thing I love about this is you go to every single white waspy conservative and they're going to tell you the Supreme Court should be eight.
00:21:29.960It should be Clarence Thomas and eight of his clones.
00:21:45.300Oh, white supremacists, they call them.
00:21:46.960Except the funny thing was Antifa and the far leftists were all white and there was a proud boy.
00:21:53.040He was a black man and they were screaming the N word at him from across the street and he got pissed and he broke from the group and went to go across the street.
00:23:35.220Not one video of a single black person defending me.
00:23:39.020And I didn't need to defend physically, but no one's defending me online and saying, no, that's wrong.
00:23:44.820Then white people come in my social media right now and they call me the N word on X because they don't like what I say about Israel or whatever the case may be.
00:24:23.800Just south of it was mixed but largely like white working class.
00:24:27.040And our black friends were told that they would get made fun of for acting white when they would hang out with us and do things like we play Pokemon cards or go skateboarding.
00:24:37.420They were told they were acting white and they had to go and stay in their communities and their neighborhoods.
00:27:12.720Tim, black people won't say this publicly for whatever reason.
00:27:18.480People like me will, but the ones on the left, they try to act like this don't happen.
00:27:23.860Every black man in America that grew up in an all-black community, I'm not saying black people that grew up in mixed communities and white communities.
00:27:30.600You grew up in an all-black community.
00:27:34.620At my school, Dunbar High School, all black, we had one guy who dated a white girl and he committed suicide.
00:27:42.060Now, I cannot confirm that he did it because he was bullied, but he was bullied and he was the only black person in the school that would dare to date a white woman.
00:27:52.540And when I was growing up, I never dated a white woman, looked at a white woman until I went to college.
00:27:59.660But I was like, you can't bring a white girl home.
00:28:07.920All the same things that you see them say about me today when I was engulfed in the community was the way I thought and the way I treated other black people.
00:28:16.680Dude, we had a comment the other day because I made this point when, you know, we've got people now posting on social media responses attack.
00:28:24.180They're saying it's better to be racist than dead.
00:28:25.880Like, she should have not wanted to sit next to the black guy or whatever.
00:28:29.340And I'm like, listen, man, if you walk on a train and to your left, there's a black man and to your right, there's a white guy.
00:28:35.500But the black guy's wearing a suit and, like, reading the Wall Street Journal and the white guy's scratching and shaking.
00:28:40.720If you decide to sit next to the crazy-looking white guy, you're racist.
00:28:45.700But someone commented, sure, Tim, like, because I'm mentioning it's a cultural thing, right?
00:28:52.020If I see a guy, an officer in a military unit, if I'm in the middle of a riot and there's people smashing things up and I see military guys, National Guard, and they're all black, I'm going to be like, thank God.
00:29:22.020I'm thinking 20 years in the future, if she comes home with a black man who's an officer in the military or a successful businessman, yeah, I don't care.
00:29:31.740If she comes home with some white trash drug addict, I'll be pissed off.
00:29:34.760I don't, it's crazy that people in any capacity want to make this be surface level overtly about race.
00:29:41.780But I will add, as I say this, the problem I think we have in this country is the media, big tech, only allowed us to talk about white supremacy and not about black supremacy or black racism, which any race can be racist.
00:29:56.680And when you cover it up, you perpetuate the problem.
00:29:59.480Honestly, I think they do it on purpose to make the problem persist.
00:30:02.760They are keeping racism on life support.
00:30:06.620Any rational person knows we're over that racist stuff.
00:30:09.180You know, before you and I were alive, well before we were alive, black people and white people couldn't drink out of the same water fountain.
00:30:41.840And white people and white people's reaction to black people are no different than black people's reaction to black people.
00:30:47.720If I get on a train and I see a brother with a hood on and he looking like he ready to kill somebody, I'm not going to be next to him either.
00:31:38.880Because if statistical data shows that more white people shoot cops than black people do, and actually more cops shoot white people than they shoot black people.
00:31:47.840And so we don't go around and be like, because he black, he a threat.
00:31:52.120It's like, no, bro, are you a threat or are you not?
00:31:54.760If you're a white guy and I pull you over and you're not listening to my commands, you are a threat to me.
00:31:59.940And it's the same thing with anything else.
00:32:01.940Like you said about dating, as long as your daughter happy and she with a man that's a good man, the color of the skin is so stupid and irrelevant.
00:32:12.600But anybody, Tim, that says now it's better to be racist than to be dead is stupid.
00:32:21.140It's better to be aware and have awareness than to be on your phone.
00:32:27.240And I'm not blaming the girl, but now I think people should pay a little more attention to their surroundings.
00:32:31.560It's better to not be on your phone, taking it for granted that people aren't going to harm you versus you putting your phone down and making sure everything is good.
00:32:39.280And if you see something that's weird, go sit somewhere else.
00:32:42.300It's better to be vigilant than to be dead, not racist.
00:32:46.980You know, the funny thing is you mentioned, like, before we were born, people couldn't drink out of the same water fountains.
00:32:52.280My mom, because I'm second generation, mixed race Asian, she was a kid when it was still illegal.
00:33:00.540This is before the Supreme Court ruling.
00:33:02.240You know, it was only 1967 that you could actually—not only could you not date or marry, like, a person of a different race, if you were caught cohabitating, it was illegal.
00:33:16.020It's kind of wild to think—what's fascinating, it's the first time in the history of the planet in the United States that we have created a society that has equality under the law for people based on race, ethnicity, or otherwise.
00:33:28.720It is actually the norm for all of human history that people were racist and had laws based on race.
00:33:35.260That's what's really frustrating about how Democrats are approaching these DEI policies and basing everything on race, because it's sending us back to a time we already did away with.
00:33:44.600And people are stuck on stupid, to be quite honest, because when you look at the iteration of black and white relationships in America,
00:33:53.580we actually did an incredible job at getting out of the rut quicker than most would, because you cannot expect—and this is—you've got to go back to antiquity, you have to go back to putting yourself in the shoes of people back in the day.
00:34:08.220You cannot expect for a group of people—and you're talking the literacy and the life expectancy and stuff, it's far different than where we are today—that go to the continent of Africa, get primitive people, because they're not developed.
00:34:25.080And they don't have a lot of things that the Europeans had at the time, so they're viewing them as primitive people, that they were sold to them as slaves.
00:34:32.220So these people live as slaves, and people expect one day at the snap, and both groups just come together like this and kumbaya.
00:34:40.120It's like that took time to go from generations of viewing these people as slaves, these people viewing themselves as slaves, to now saying, okay, you're not a slave, but you're free.
00:34:51.680But how does that happen? Because people have been slaves, there's fear, there's prejudice, there's propaganda, and then it has to go from there to the next stage, to the next iteration.
00:35:01.140And then now you're free, but it's not kosher, for lack of better terms, to marry because the race mixing was such and such.
00:35:09.260And then we had to get past that point.
00:35:11.440Every society that have ever existed, there will always be an iteration on a time period of dispensation where you have to come out of the stupidity.
00:35:21.640We see it in medicine. We see it in race relations.
00:35:24.200We see it even amongst people who are of the same race.
00:35:29.080The acceptance of black people amongst other black people are just as unacceptable when you look at black and white race relations in America.
00:35:36.860I mean, even today, tribes don't talk to each other, and people will kill each other from a different tribe.
00:35:41.160Even today, we're past that in America, but we don't get enough credit for it.
00:36:58.760And it's sad when he says there are people that hold that chip on their shoulder and say, don't act white, don't succeed.
00:37:05.300I don't know if you guys ever saw that music video, read a book, read a book, read a mother effing book, wear deodorant, wear deodorant, you know, all that stuff, buy some land, F spinning rims.
