Freedom Feels Nice – But It's Hard
i want to tell you guys about blexit and. how i began this and how something that. started so small um is now even bigger. and beyond my my biggest dreams um. because i've realized that what i. thought was. just the intentional targeting of the. black community was really something. that began as an experiment in the black. community and all of the issues that the. black community has been facing since. you know the 1960s is now being. proliferated and these are now these are. american issues it's not black or white. if you are american you're in this.
country you are facing. a government that wants absolute control. over you and your household and that's. the truth. so uh i just want to begin by telling. you guys about just that right how the. government did this and why blexit was. started was me recognizing and waking up. one day and realizing that my entire. life was a lie. i went through the public school system. talking about that demonic education and. it was less obvious coming up in the 90s. that i was being brainwashed i came out.
of the public school system and at 18. years old i knew a few things were. definitely true i knew that republicans. were racist that anybody that lived in. the south was racist anybody that said. y'all are hunky-tonked they were racist. they wanted to send the worlds backwards. right. and i knew that if i wanted to be a. productive member of society i had to. align with the left the left progressive. it even sounds better right liberalism. sounds so much better than conservatism.
um i knew that uh women were suffering. under men and the patriarchy and then in. order to be a woman that was appreciated. in this society i had to sort of throw. off your clothes right put put your. breasts on the internet if you want to. really feel what freedom is like and the. only reason they're telling you to put. your clothes on is because they're. trying to make you conservative and men. are trying to restrict you. i knew a lot of things it's just that i. it turns out none of them were true um. and.
it took me. kind of growing up in this society in. this in this. far left bubble of the school system. existing under the department of. education to make myself very miserable. and i didn't realize i was miserable. because i was being told that these. things would make me would render me. more free when you hear that mother. talking about why why are all your. children saying they're non-binary and. all this it's because i'm sure that they. are learning in the same capacity that i. learned when i was in school that these. isms make you more free that it gives.
you an identity right this is who you. can be in the world it feels safe you. are somehow a better person even though. on the inside you're suffering you're. suffering from maybe it's depression. you're suffering from the realization. that you don't know what you are in this. entire world. fortunately for me because i was raised. by my grandfather. always in the back of my mind and that's. why i so do believe in the seeds of. christianity and the seeds of. conservatism in our youth because it's. so much easier to go back.
once you've been exposed to it. um fortunately for me i had a grand dad. uh that was no nonsense and who i talk. about on every stage and if you've ever. heard a canister in speech you know that. i mentioned my grandad. because he saved my life before i even. knew my life needed saving um and that. is so true of that entire generation we. know uh you know the the world war ii. generation and the way that they did. things the value of work ethic right um. the belief that what it meant to be a.
man was to work with your hands and to. provide for your family these are the. ideas that we should all be fighting to. conserve. fortunately for me i had a grandfather. who grew up in times of real racial. strife there's no question that there. was real racism systemic racism that. existed in this country at some point it. makes me laugh so hard that they have. perpetuated a lie that candace owen says. racism doesn't exist nope of course.
racism did exist racism does exist and. if you're paying attention racism will. always exist because human beings are. human beings there's always going to be. a japanese person who hates chinese. people a white person who hates a black. person a black person who hates white. people human beings have a component of. hate that we are never going to be able. to officially conquer there's no system. that's going to make everybody love. everybody that's part of the lie that. the left sells you that if you just keep. giving them more money and you keep uh.
aligning yourself with their ideals that. they're gonna turn this this world uh. into the magic kingdom actually i. shouldn't say that disney's creepy now. that's probably exactly what they want. the world to be the magic kingdom. we're out of we're not doing that. anymore. um but you know so this this idea of. race this of racism of course racism. actually existed systematically no more. but it did when my grandfather was. growing up and he grew up on a. sharecropping farm. and he uh faced the real ku klux klan.
like not the imagined clan that cnn. comes up with every other week the real. clan right he was one of 12 brothers and. sisters his uh first job was given him. when he was five years old he didn't go. to school. he went to lay tobacco out to dry. in the carolina heat. to beat the heat he would raise. he would he would wake up at about four. o'clock in the morning 4 30 um so that. it was before the sun came up at five. years old it's incredible for me to.
think about. what my grandfather lived through what. his day-to-day was right and i always. tell people when i'm speaking to them. just put yourself in your granddaddy's. shoes because what the world was back. then. um and there seemed to be so many less. problems and screaming and yelling. compared to what the world is now and. how to make you understand how. unbelievably. privileged we all are if you are sitting. in this room and you are breathing in. america you are a privileged person.
perspective is so needed. right and so hearing these stories. hearing my grandfather talk about what. it was like living under segregation uh. i say with children the majority of what. they learn is caught right by their. parents it's not taught it's caught. you're observing them you're seeing how. they function. i got to see my granddaddy. in the house with my grandmother and. they were just just good people married. from the time they were 17 years old he. was married to my grandmother until her.
dying day. my grandfather just passed last year so. i saw a functional relationship in a. household that was filled with. christianity a household that was filled. with love and a household where my. grandfather very much believed in rules. and regulations and believed that if you. wanted to be free you had to understand. that freedom only comes from personal. responsibility let me explain to you. what i am talking about. personal responsibility i just had a.
conversation with larry elder and we. were talking about this and i wrote. about this in my book which i know you. all own and you all read twice. absolutely. but a lot of the reason when you look up. and you see that people on the left you. think yourself what are they outside. screaming about why are they like. constantly upset right it's like the. loudest longest toddler march for the. last five years right it reminds me my. son he's 15 months and that's you know. he's he's a bit he literally actually. sometimes walks around like this a.
little protester. and. i just think how could you be a. functioning adult in a society and do. this all where is your do you ever go to. work do you have any responsibilities. and the answer is no because they're. shirking responsibilities the hardest. thing in the entire world is to be. personally responsible and yet it's the. very definition of freedom if i look at. you in the face and i say you are free. 100 you are free. first you're like yay that's amazing i'm. free imagine that imagine that day that.
day when when the civil rights bill. passed and suddenly inked lbj inks it in. civil rights movement oh you are free in. society you can do whatever you want. imagine the first day after slavery you. are free go do whatever you want. yay and then suddenly. whoa. whoa. i'm free. right i can just go do whatever i want. now i i ha. i have to go figure out what it is that. i want to do right i have to go figure. out what it is how i'm going to provide.
for my family i i have to go figure out. who i am in this world freedom it feels. the word feels nice. but it's hard it is hard it means you. have to make something of yourself.
