You're listening to REAL TALK, where clarity meets strategy, and survival meets truth. I’m your host Hegearl.

Today’s episode: "Understanding the Nature of Racism: Clarifing the Urgency for Black Unity"

Let’s get into it.

As Black people in America, we’ve asked the question a thousand times:

“Why are white people so racist?” My answer is that - Fixing the problem of White 'Racial Hatred' is not for Black folks to solve.

But in this moment—this dangerous, MAGA-fueled moment—that question has lost its urgency.

Because the real question is:

What are we doing to protect ourselves?

What are we doing to build the systems, the unity, the structure to survive what’s clearly coming? Because whether rooted in ignorance, delusion, or strategic design—racism continues to be the most consistent, coordinated threat to Black life. And if we’re going to survive it, we need to understand the game that’s being played. In this episode I take the construct of white supremacy and compare three thinkers. Some may believe or hope that White people will act human and we can work along side them, but these three opinion seems to come to a different conclusion.

Shahid Bolsen – Ignorance Is Not InnocenceBolsen makes it plain: white ignorance is not some accident of history. It’s a weapon. White people are systemically miseducated—just like us—so they can remain innocent in their own minds while still benefiting from the suffering of others. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s not just underfunded schools. It’s a system that teaches lies, omits truth, and protects white comfort. Because if they knew the truth and felt the weight of guilt? They might resist white supremacy. But this way—they don’t feel responsible. They just go along with it. That’s not passive.

That’s participation

Dietrich Bonhoeffer – The Danger of Stupidity

Bonhoeffer, a theologian who stood up to the Nazis, said something that still hits hard today:

“Against stupidity, we are defenseless. Arguments fall on deaf ears.”

He wasn’t talking about a lack of intelligence—he meant moral blindness.

The kind of person who truly believes they’re doing good, even while supporting injustice. In America today, millions of white people support racist policies—and feel righteous doing it. They don’t see the harm because they’ve convinced themselves they’re just “protecting their way of life.” That kind of delusion is immune to logic. It’s not just ignorance—it’s deeply held belief.

And that’s what makes it dangerous.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing – Racism Is a Survival Strategy Dr. Frances Cress Welsing gave us one of the most important truths of the 20th century: Racism isn’t emotional. It’s not about hate. It’s about genetic survival. White supremacy is not personal—it’s strategic. It’s a global system built to preserve white dominance in a world where they are the global minority. Everything—economics, politics, education, even pop culture—is used to protect their survival and dominance. And whether they realize it or not, white people operate as a team. That’s not conspiracy—it’s instinct. Racism is a team sport.

And we need to stop pretending like it’s not.

Unity Is Not Optional – It’s a Matter of Survival

Let’s stop acting like we have time. The truth is, we’re being surrounded—politically, economically, socially. MAGA is not just a slogan. It’s a strategy. It’s the signal that they are ready to enforce their dominance by any means necessary.

There’s a popular debate: Is it evil or stupidity destroying America?

Let’s be clear — it’s both. But evil is in charge. We are not watching innocent mistakes. We are witnessing a white nationalist, authoritarian movement driven by cruelty, greed, and a deep belief in racial superiority.

This has been REAL TALK. Until the next episode

If racism is a team sport—then freedom must be too.

Stay Woke, Stay Building, and Stay Black on Purpose.

Stacey Abrams laid out Ten Steps to Autocracy on The Jimmy Kimmel Show it was a prediction—and a report. A roadmap of how democracies die. And not just anywhere—right here in America. Trump is already halfway through the playbook. But while everyone else is frozen, debating whether to call it fascism or not, I'm here to talk about how we fight back. Not with hope, but with structure. Not with politics, but with unity and ownership."

"This isn’t about saving America. This is about saving us."

Trump already won once in 2016 with foreign help, voter suppression, and lies. He lost in 2020—then tried to burn the system down rather than concede. That’s not losing. That’s planning your next move."

The Constitution Is a Costume

The biggest lie ever told to Black people is that the Constitution would protect us. It protected slavery. It legalized segregation. It gave us mass incarceration. And now, it protects an insurrectionist president.

Trump was impeached for trying to rig an election. Twice.

He led a mob to attack Congress. He gave aid and comfort to seditionists.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment says he should be disqualified.

But instead of upholding the Constitution, the Supreme Court rewrote it to protect him. Where’s the rule of law? Republicans swore an oath to defend the Constitution.

They violated it — and acquitted him.

So, let’s be honest:

The Constitution doesn’t protect us because it was never meant to. And the people who still believe in its promises are either deeply naive or willfully blind.

Republicans Violated Their Oath

Every member of Congress takes an oath to “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.” By acquitting Trump despite overwhelming evidence of misconduct—including inciting an insurrection—they ignored the Constitution’s mechanisms for accountability and protected party over principle.

Their inaction wasn't passive, it was complicit. When Republicans break their oath and face no consequences, and Democrats won’t risk power to defend the Constitution, what’s left? Us the people. Those who see the rot, feel the danger, and know that unity and infrastructure under our control is the only real defense.

How Congress Is Quietly Waging War on the People It Claims to Represent

“SNAP costs a day… only $6… Medicaid for a kid, $10 a day… That’s just $16 a day to make sure a child doesn’t go hungry and has access to health care. That’s Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett, pulling back the curtain on the real cost of helping the poor—pocket change compared to the billions handed to the wealthy and spent on endless war. But don’t get it twisted: this bill isn’t about saving money. It’s about sacrificing the many to serve the few.

Key Timeline: Borrowing from Trust Funds

1983: The Greenspan Commission

Social Security was facing a funding crisis. A bipartisan commission led by Alan Greenspan recommended reforms: Raise payroll taxes: Raise the retirement age Reduce benefits growth. These changes generated a large surplus in the Social Security Trust Fund.

What happened to the surplus? By law, Social Security can't "invest" in the stock market or private assets. So, the surplus funds were required to be invested in U.S. Treasury bonds.

Why Did This Happen?

It allowed the federal government to: Borrow more without going to the public or foreign lenders. Fund other parts of the federal budget (military, tax cuts, etc.) without raising income taxes. This practice ballooned during the Reagan, Bush Sr., and Bush Jr. administrations.

How much is owed now (2025)?

The Social Security Trust Fund holds over $2.7 trillion in these IOUs.If the more than 21 million Black adults employed just committed to a $1 a week subscription for 12 months, we’d raise $1,008,000,000 per year. We are running out of time. If we don’t organize, we lose.

Unity is not optional. Because no one is coming to save us.

The cavalry isn’t coming — but the storm is.

Welcome to Real Talk, I'm your host Hegearl—where we speak truth no filters, and we aren't here for clicks, likes, or empty noise. Honestly, I have nothing to offer other than my desire to see African Americans live their lives free from racism, bigotry, and hate.

If you came for entertainment or drama, this ain’t that.

This space was built for those who are tired of the hypocrisy and are ready to create solutions.

I’m not looking for followers—I’m looking for those who are committed to Liberation under Black management.

What I’m here to do is connect with like-minded people ready to move—ready to think differently, build differently, and live free on our terms.

This is about one thing:

Liberation under Black management.

Let’s get into it.

They say if you want to know who’s really with you, offer a solution. Not a slogan. Not a meme. A real blueprint. That’s when you’ll hear the loudest silence of your life.
That silence isn’t failure—it’s feedback. It’s a mirror. And I want to talk about what it showed me… and why I’m not giving up.

Recently, a powerful clip was posted by Black Knowledge on Facebook titled:

“Unwritten Truths: The Political Hustle.”

It hit a nerve. It exposed the corruption of both parties and the empty promises that have kept Black communities circling the same drain for decades.

The numbers were wild:

• Over 11,000 likes
• 1,100 comments
• 10,000 shares

Clearly, people are frustrated.

Fed up.

Ready to talk about the lie we’ve all been sold.

So I joined the conversation—not just to echo the outrage, but to bring a real solution.

On every comment that voiced frustration I clicked the like button, comments that said:

"That's why I don't vote"

“What can be done?”

“Where’s the solution?”

“I’m tired of this country.”

And I posted a link to something we’ve been building:

The Black Infrastructure Trust (B.I.T.)

A solution. A blueprint. A plan to pool our own money—just a subscription-based plan $20.00 per month —to build real, Black-owned infrastructure. Banks, land, housing, education, and protection. We don’t have to wait for politicians or elections. We can build it ourselves.

Out of 1,100 comments, only two people responded to my post. No likes. No questions. Just silence. I went even further and provided the math. If the 11,000 people on the thread would subscribe for a $1.00 a week then in 12 months we could generate over $ 520,000 dollars! Once again silence from all those outraged voices.

That silence hit harder than any argument could’ve.

Not because it was rejection…

But because of its absence.

No engagement, no curiosity—not even to ask, “Tell me more.”

.

They ignore them because solutions demand responsibility and participation.

You see, a meme lets you express pain.

A solution requires commitment.

But I’m not bitter. I’m focused.

Because here’s what else I learned:

🛠️ You don’t need 11,000 people. You need 100 builders.

100 people who see what we see.

100 people willing to build forward even if the crowd is silent.

That’s who I’m speaking to now.

If you’re tired of shouting into the void, tired of outrage with no outcome—

Then become a builder.

Ask questions. Get involved. Let's reach 100 members who will not just click—but commit.

Because no one is coming to save us. But we can save us—if we move together.

If you're still here, it's because something real hit you.

But understand this—Real Talk ain’t here to entertain, go viral, or win likes. We don’t move for algorithms—we move for liberation.

So don’t just listen. Reflect. Connect. Build.

I’m not looking for clicks—I’m looking for commitment.

Because the truth is: the time for performative outrage is over.

What I’m here to do is connect with the ones ready to move—ready to think differently, build differently, and live free on our own terms. This is about one thing:

Liberation under Black management.

Until next the next episode:

Stay sharp. Stay Building. And stay Black on Purpose.
