The narrative podcast is changing the narrative one episode at a time. [Music] Welcome, welcome, welcome to another edition of the narrative podcast. The narrative podcast is the home of original people, original people peace, original people reciprocity, and original people positivity. The narrative podcast promotes positive reinforcement of original people and original people culture. The narrative podcast provides positive frames of reference about original people and original culture. Welcome to the narrative podcast. I am your host, Halsey Allen. Welcome all my narrators. What's good? What's good? What's good? Peace, peace, peace, peace family. All right, so this is my final week day installment for this week of the narrative podcast. But welcome to the narrative podcast. It is Thursday, September 5th. So we pretty much had a good week on here, a good week in general in life. I'm hoping. And if you didn't, well, it's still time. It's always tomorrow. But welcome to the narrative podcast. I've got a pretty good show this evening. A whole lot going on in the world, but we're going to make it through. So for the people familiar with my podcast, my target listening audience, they're already familiar with my demonstration. They already know about my format style and the type of content that I'll be presenting. But for the new listeners, people unfamiliar with me and my platform, how I generally kick things off, as I promote everything I got going on, then I walk you through a brief overview of the narrative podcast and I dive on into the content. So that's generally how I do things. So let's start at the top with the very first thing I'd like to promote, which is the podcast itself, the narrative podcast. You can support the narrative podcast by downloading this episode and I previously recorded episodes of the narrative podcast. And the way you do that is basically following me on two mediums, YouTube in X. You want to follow me on YouTube in X because this platform that I'm broadcasting on automatically uploads to YouTube in X right after I'm done recording. So if you follow me on YouTube in X, you will be notified about the latest upload of the narrative podcast, which you can definitely also check me out wherever you wherever you're comfortable getting your podcast information from, because this is my podcast, the narrative podcast is pretty much readily available on all podcast platforms. And so the way you support on YouTube is obviously go to YouTube, subscribe to my YouTube channel, which is Halsey Allen. I don't have a specifically designated spot for the narrative podcast per se, it's just my viewer channel. So you want to subscribe to my YouTube channel, click notifications, click notifications all, and you will be informed about the latest episode of the narrative podcast. And then to listen to my episodes of the narrative podcast, you want to go into my videos and you will see every single last episode of the narrative podcast uploaded in chronological order, starting with the most recent episode. And then while you're on YouTube, of course, hit the thumbs up button, the like button on YouTube, comment on the episode, leave me a comment on the episode, and then also share the episode to whatever platform you desire to share it to. So the only thing I'm asking is if you're a visual content creator is to shout out the narrative podcast, you know, if you're a visual content creator, so like if you're a YouTube or, you know, you do Facebook Live, Instagram Live, or whatever, any medium where you're in front of the camera. That's how you can support, you know, my kind, my platform. And then here's the support directions for X, normally known as Twitter. You follow me on X. Did I hear you're shopping for a car because I've been at it for ages such a time suck, right? Not really, I bought it on Carvana, super convenient. Oh, then comes all the financing research, am I right? Well, you can, but I got pre-qualified for a Carvana auto loan in like two minutes. Yeah, but then all the number crunching in terms, right? Nope, I saw real numbers as I shopped, found my dream car, and got it in a couple of days. Wait, like you already have it? Yep. Go to Carvana.com to finance your car the convenient way. Okay, you can do this. I know, I know, Carvana makes it so convenient to sell your car. It's just hard to let go. My car and I have been through so much together. But look, you already have a great offer from Carvana. That was fast. Well, I know my lessons played in my heart, and those questions were easy. You're almost there, now to just accept the offer and schedule a pickup or drop off. How'd you do it? How were you so strong in letting go of your car? Well, I already made up my mind, and Carvana's so easy. Yeah, true, and sold. Go to Carvana.com to sell your car the convenient way. And my handle is Harsi Island on X2, where it's I stay good at Harsi Island. And then once on X, you want to go to my page, obviously. And you should know my page because I have a book of poetry pinned to my page titled, "The Black Heart." So that's how you know you're on the right page. And then just a sidebar. There's like a thousand podcasts titled, "The Narrative Podcast." So to make sure you're downloading the right content, make sure you're listening and downloading the narrative podcast hosted by me, Harsi Island. There's like, you know, legit over a thousand podcasts titled, "The Narrative Podcast." But only my podcast matters. So just putting that out there. So yeah, when you're on X, you want to look for the latest episode of "The Narrative Podcast" on my profile. When you see the link to the narrative podcast, click on that link and then to open up and you will see a plethora of options. So once you've clicked on the link on X, you should see the logo to the narrative podcast and what you want to do is hit the like button. It's heart shaped. So click on the heart shaped like button. Then next to the heart shaped like button, you will see a comment box and you obviously want to leave me a comment in the comment box, of course. Very much appreciate that. The next to the comment box, you should see like a little time clock, ignore that. That's like nothing next to that. You should see a download button. And the download button is this icon with an arrow pointing down. So you would want to click on that. And then next to that, obviously, you know, those three little buttons where you can share it to, you know, whatever platform, share it to whatever platform that you would like to share it to. But if you don't do any of those options, make sure you're hitting the download button. I appreciate it if you did all of them, like comment, download and share. But if you don't feel like doing all that, the download button, please hit the download button. And that's how you support the narrative podcast platform. I broadcast during the weekdays, two to three times during the week day. And then once on the weekend, now I try to, for my weekends, I try to broadcast on Saturdays, but sometimes, you know, I start recording late and then it doesn't get uploaded until like midnight, which is technically Sunday sometimes. But I think this weekend is going to be much different. I've been working on that, working on my timing. So you should be receiving my weekend episode at a reasonable time. But yeah, I broadcast during the week day and the weekends, two to three times during the week day. Once on the weekend, just make sure you download this episode and I'll previously report episodes of the narrative podcast, wherever each podcast information from. And then one last little note about my uploads of the narrative podcast. I have two different format styles. My weekday format style, I only have two sections, which is a highlight section. And then I deliver a commentary. And I refer to my commentary as my speaking point section. So only two sections during the weekday. And then I have five sections on the weekend. So how I begin it on the weekends is it starts with a section I call where I'm promoting black-owned businesses. And then after that, I have a section where I'm promoting positive reinforcement. And then after that section, I have a section where I'm promoting health and wellness. And then after that section, then I have my speaking point section. And then how I close things out, I close things out with a wise word of wisdom. And so that's the differences between my format styles, how they differ from the weekday to the weekend. So whichever format style is best suited for you, for your listening pleasure, you know, you can choose. I hope you listen to the weekday and the weekend episodes, but you know, whatever works for you, just make sure you listen, download, comment, and share all episodes of the narrative podcast. Thank you. And moving on to the next thing I would like to promote. The next thing I want to promote is my book of poetry that I've written. It's titled the black card. It's available on poetizer.com. And what the black card is about, it's a 30-page book of poetry that basically encompasses and chronicles all our experiences, everything we encounter and go through as a people. It's basically a reflective retrospect of, you know, our entire existence. So, you know, it captures everything we go through as a people, both positive and negative nuances within our culture and just, you know, essentially the essence that, you know, which is us, black people, original people. So if you're an original man or original woman, you automatically, you know, relate to each one of the pieces, they will definitely resonate with you. You can connect to them on so many different levels. If you're not, you know, black, or, you know, if you're not black, if you're outside of our culture, you can definitely still relate to the book. If you're open-minded and consider yourself a progressive person and likes learning about new cultures and new things, you can definitely read that book and enjoy it. If you have children, you know, you can let them read it and, you know, try to do your best to, you know, educate them and, you know, just use it as a reference tool to better relate to, you know, the black people in your life, you know, if you have, you know, relatives, friends, colleagues, associates, you know, you can get a little glimpse into our world through that book. So, you know, check that out. And currently, it's only available on one medium and that's Poetizer.com. So, to purchase the black card, what you want to go do is head on over to Poetizer.com. They have a virtual online bookstore. You want to go to their virtual online bookstore and type in my title, "The Black Card" written by me, Halsey Allen, H-A-L-L-Z-I-E, A-L-L-E-N. And it's about, you know, it's a little under 30 bucks. So, well worth it. Go check it out. You will enjoy it. The black card will make a good coffee table read, gifts, relaxation book, travel book. It has a very sleek design. You will love it. Very compact, easy to read. You don't have any illustrations on it. It's just all printing. But I got another book coming out pretty soon. So, I'm working on the pictures. But, you know, definitely go check it out. Really good book, "The Black Card." And now, if you're unfamiliar with Poetizer.com, or Poetizer, it's a social media platform. It's a social media site for writers, all genres of writing, essay writing, novel writing, short stories. Even journal writing is welcomed in that space. And, you know, it's just basically a space for writers to engage with one another, share their work, critique each other, give feedback, connect with one another, network with one another. The site also has prompts for, you know, all different writing types. So, like, they have writing prompts for people to write short stories, like, you know, write a story about your dog. And then, you know, for the novel writing, it's a little bit more complex. They give you, you know, the layout of scenario. Here's your main characters. And, you know, pick up, you know, where this leaves off, you know. And then, for their poets, who decide is designed for it, because it's actually implied in the name Poetizer. So, they cater exclusively to poets. But, you know, all, you know, genres of writing are welcome, but, you know, they really kind of focus more on poets. You know, they might, their writing prompt might be like, you know, write a poem about a flower, you know, something like that, for their writing prompts for the poets. And, you know, of course, that site has a self-publishing feature where the members of that community can either turn their work that they share on that site, use their self-publishing software to turn it into a book, or they can come up with a completely fresh idea and turn it into a book. And, that's kind of what I did. I wrote a book on that platform, and it's available in their virtual online bookstore. So, go look for it, go to Poetizer.com, look for my title, The Black Card, written by me, Halsey Allen, purchase the black card today, or get your black card revoked. And then, last but not least, I would like to promote my poetry blog on blogger.com, it's titled Halsey's Poetry Corner. And what that is, is it's basically a blog site where I'm blogging my poetry. And all the poetry on that site is unique because every single piece is spontaneously written, like I didn't contemplate on the content, the subject matter. What I was going to title each piece, I gave no cognitive thought, I just legit just started writing and posting it. So, that's what makes that poetry unique. Another thing that makes it unique is it's completely relatable. Anybody from any walk of life can read that poetry and, you know, connect either with a portion of it or an entire piece. You know, it's designed to accommodate, you know, people, whatever they're experiencing in life, whatever they're going through, you're guaranteed to find a piece of poetry on that blog site that you can connect with, that speaks to, you know, whatever your situation is. Now, I do have some poems on posting on there that, you know, exclusively deals with our issues, original people. But for the most part, you know, it's for everybody, it's completely relatable. Another kind of cool thing about it is just like, you know, the poems are so specific and intentional and detailed, you would just really be under the impression that, you know, I went through all the editing stages of writing to come up with that piece, come up with the final product. But like I said, I didn't, they're just, you know, just, I wrote each one of them off the cuff totally in the moment. But go to a blog or dot com and check it out. And the name of my blog is called Hause His Poetry Corner. The link to it is www.MrHauseHisVlogs.com. And the way you can support my poems featured on that blog site is to share the link to Hause His Poetry Corner. www.MrHauseHisVlogs.com or a poem featured on Hause His Poetry Corner across all platforms.

It's literally a poem for pretty much every occasion in life. So go check that out today, Hause His Poetry Corner on vlogger.com. And that's all the projects that I would like to promote.

Go support the narrative podcast, support, you know, my book of poetry, the black card, and support my personal poetry vlog, Hause His Poetry Corner. So now we're going to dive into a synopsis of the narrative podcast before diving into the content. And the reason why I do an overview of the narrative podcast is just to basically put it in full context for you because this is an audio platform. So I'm just letting you know what it's about, why you should listen to it and, you know, just, you know, bringing you up to speed about what it is I'm trying to accomplish in this space and the message that I'm spreading. So let's start at the top tippy, the name, the narrative podcast, and then my podcast, the narrative podcast, because I don't like to pause narrative that the media we use about original people and original people culture. So what I want to do to counter the way the media inaccurately portrays and projects our images and our likenesses across, you know, all media platforms is to design a platform where I'm showcasing and highlighting us at our best and, you know, focusing in on all the positive things that we're doing and basically providing the listening audience with positive frames of reference to counter the media's negative frames of reference that they delve out about our people and our culture. So that's, you know, entirely what the narrative podcast is all about. It's dedicated towards providing positive frames of reference about original people and original people culture. So I think that's a perfect segue for my tagline, the narrative podcast, changing the narrative. One episode at a time by destroying negative stereotypes about original people and original people culture. How do I destroy the negative stereotypes about our people and our culture by providing positive frames of reference about our people and our culture? Hence the title, the narrative podcast. So yeah, that's it. In a nutshell, pretty much my mission statement is basically to bring awareness to the listening audience of why it's important to responsibly utilize your platforms to share, you know, positive frames of reference about original people and original people culture. And then also to encourage listening audience to use their platforms to share positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. So, you know, that's what the narrative podcast is pretty much basically about in a nutshell. It's all about, you know, positivity, positive reinforcement, uplifting and edifying our people through positive frames of reference. Um, next thing you should know about the narrative podcast, I refer to my listening audience as my narrators. You see how it started out, I greeted you as my narrator. So what do I mean? What, what is the significance of that word? What do I mean by narrator? So if you're familiar, if you've ever written, uh, you know, taking an English class or, uh, read any type of literature, you know, it was usually like an overview of the book or ever had a book read to you, you know, the storyteller is, you know, narrating the story. It'll let you know what's going on, plot points and, you know, important things about the story. They're informing you. That's what, you know, typically with the definition of, you know, narrating is they're basically informing you about the story. They're telling, you know, or narrating a story. So breaking that down even further. What is the significance? Why, you know, what inspired me to even come up with that term narrator? Well, basically the, uh, times that we're currently living in inspired me to, uh, coined that term. We're living in the digital information age. And we're all utilizing, uh, technology to some capacity, to some degree, you know, for various reasons, whether, you know, whether it's to socialize, whether it's to network, um, you know, whether it's, um, you know, looking for, you know, a love interest, whatever you're online for, you know, people have, you know, a digital space. And all digital spaces have bio sections. And the bio sections, people, um, fill it with, you know, what they want people that will view their contents and know about themselves. And then they, um, upload visual content that is reflective about what the information that they entered into the bio section. And the content that they usually upload is the best, uh, possible visual representation of whatever, you know, they say about themselves or their product, it's a business in the bio section. You see, in their telling or narrating the best possible versions of themselves or their products or whatever they're using, you know, digital media for. And so that's what I mean by narrators as a people, I feel we should be telling for narrating our own stories, because the media, you know, they're telling a negative story about ourselves, about our people and our coaching. So what's up to us, all of us, to tell or narrate our own stories. And that's why I refer to my target listening audience as my narrators. We need to be telling the best possible versions of ourselves online as we possibly can. Because if history hasn't taught us anything as taught as this, if you don't tell your own story, your own story will be told for you. And that's precisely what the media is doing. They're telling our story. They're telling a negative story about us. They're telling a story of, you know, degeneracy, violence, hopelessness, destitution, disillusioned story of us being disenfranchised, you know, downtrodden. So we got to bring it back into perspective and, you know, tell, you know, tell the world who we are as a people, who we really are as a people, and who we really are as a people, our king is the queens, guys and goddesses of the universe. And it needs to be reflected in all forms of media. That's why I call my target listening audience, my narrators. That's the job of a narrator is to, you know, tell or narrate your own stories. So when you're online posting stuff, you want to give the best visual representation of yourself. So we want to put out positive frames of references about who we are as a people, things reflective of who we are as a people, our true nature. You know, we want to have content that's reflective of a good family structure, us engaged in some type of family activity interacting with our families doing something family oriented, us having families of siblings, you know, parents, cousins. You know, you don't have to be a blood relative to be family. That's a blood just makes you related family, you know, makes you family. We want to show, you know, content reflective of how regal we are as a people, just us navigating through life with a sense of urgency, you know, us achieving incredible feats, whether it's, you know, in the realm of academia, whether it's in the realm of ownership, business ownership, whether it's in the realm of humanitarian needs, we want to, you know, promoting endorse, us excelling, progressing and achieving in life. What we don't want to do is, you know, use our platforms to play into the negative stereotypes and stigmas that the media places over us. You know, they want to promote and normalize violence within our community, they want to promote normalized criminality, they want to promote and normalize gun culture, gun culture, gun culture, or culture, you know, that's what they want to promote and normalize, they want to promote and normalize the image of the angry black man, they want to promote normalized the image of the angry black woman. So that's why we need to, you know, become narrators and, you know, control the narrative, control how our images and our likenesses are, you know, distributed across all media platforms. Now, you know, we can't control how people perceive us as how people outside of our culture choose to interact with us, how they choose to, you know, engage us, what we can control is the content that we're putting out. So that's what I mean when I call my, when I refer to my listening audience as my narrators, just simply, you know, telling or narrating our own stories. Next thing you should know about the narrative podcast is the positive space. I don't engage in any negativity gossip slander. I try to make this a positive safe space. It's just dedicated towards uplifting, edifying our people, providing positive frames of reference, and, you know, just celebrating our accomplishments and our achievements, and trying to promote positive reinforcement, rather than, you know, getting online, being messy, digging into each other, exchanging insults, and, you know, airing out dirty laundry. You know, that's not what I do on here. Now I'm not trying to be perfect, and I'm not saying we should, you know, try to be perfect, like, you know, realistically in life, you know, you're going to have people that rub you the wrong way in people that you just don't like. There's no sense in pretending to like somebody you don't like. You know, rest in power, our brother, Rodney King, he wants to ask the rhetorical question, can't we all just get along? And the answer to that brother's question is no, we cannot. You're just going to meet people in life. It's going to ruffle your feathers and rub you the wrong way. But it can make the choice to be simple to that, you know, those people, to be the bigger person. Every other culture does it. We shouldn't be in any exception. We shouldn't just really make time to be petty online to one another. So like I said, if you don't like somebody that's cool, that's your business, what you shouldn't do is, you know, get online and make it, you know, a priority to drag whatever person you don't like or care for through the mud, air after dirty laundry, you know, screenshot in the inbox and all that, like, you know, we shouldn't be the vote in our time and energy to that. And so like on the narrative podcast, I discourage against that. And I try to discourage my listening audience to engaging in the pettiness and the messiness. So just making this a positive safe space for original people, you know, it's all about edification, upliftment, you know, pulling each other up, not tearing each other down. That's the space that I'm creating here. In addition to that, you know, no gossip, no slander, no name calling, none of that, you know, I'm just in the business of being positive and spreading positivity. I do however, like I said, I talk about current events. And when I, you know, speak about current events, it's inevitable that usually when you're talking about the news is, you know, want somebody from our community involved in something negative. And in that instance, if I ever bring up a famous person's name, when I'm delivering commentaries, never really deterred them down, or to, you know, try to besperch the reputation or single them out, it's really just, you know, when I deliver commentary, I just basically try to frame it up from the bigger picture perspective and everything pretty much all my content is centered around the bigger picture. And so what is the bigger picture typically, you know, anything negative that happens to us in our community can be traced back to systemic oppression and psychological programming and conditioning. So it's like, you know, we're programmed in condition to engage each other in a certain way, to look at each other in a certain way, to interact with each other a certain way, to interact and engage people outside of our culture in a certain way. You know, on a psychological, you know, programming and conditioning side of it, then on a systemic impression side of it, it's like, you know, powers that shouldn't be, they're playing, you know, I got your nose, that's what they're doing. They're playing games, they're playing with us in our face. They're, you know, causing conditions to where they're making it so we can't win. Now, I'm not saying we don't win, we do win, but, you know, we got to fight so hard to get that W to keep change of the rules, to keep on pushing the, you know, goal post back. Every time we score a touchdown, they're going to push the goal post back every single time. So that, you know, systemic oppression coupled with psychological programming and conditioning equals us deviating from our true natures and we're, you know, embodying the nature of the people doing the oppressing. And who are the people doing the oppressing? People doing the oppressing are liars, thieves, murderers. So we're, you know, we're embodying their essence, you know, which they programmed in conditioning us to do that. Because our true nature, our being, they coded nature is, you know, regal, you know, so they programming condition us to act out of our characters. So like, what do you expect? And that's generally how I frame it up. You know, typically when somebody from our communities going through something negative, got some negativity, you know, surrounding them if they're in the, you know, news for something negative. It's never the clout chase, bash, shame, blame, etc, etc, etc. It's just basically, you know, that's how I'm setting up the scenario. Next, the narrative podcast is a time sensitive platform. I try not to see one hour per broadcast, which is very easy to do. This is an audio platform. So you got to talk to prevent dead air space. So, you know, I try to keep a short, sweet brief into the point. I try not to over complicate things. I want my message to just be practical and applyable. And, you know, I want to keep the listening audience engaged, fully engaged and fully, you know, attentive to the content that I'm delivering. And the only way to do that is to, you know, keep it brief as possible. Because, you know, I don't want to be redundant. Don't want to repeat myself. Don't want to rant and go down, you know, rabbit holes with hypotheticals and all that. You know, I just want to tell it like it is. And, you know, if you get with it or not, get with it. But the message is out there and I'm trying to be, you know, blunt and straight forward as possible. And so, you know, that's why I try not to exceed, you know, one hour per broadcast. I try to time my content when I'm taking my notes and have actual bulleted points, speaking points and not try to, you know, just over-complicate, you know, simple subject matter. So, the quickest way to lose an audience is to board in. And we've got so many things taking our attention because, like, literally, I know when people listen into it, they probably pull out their device, start scrolling, watch TV, get a snack, whatever. So, you know, all I got a little bit of time. And I want to keep you, you know, locked in and not trailing off doing something else. And so to do that, you know, I got to make it brief into the point. So, narrative podcast is a time platform. I try not to exceed one hour per broadcast. And then, last but not least, I refer to our people as original people. I refer to our people as original people to basically, you know, it's historically accurate. And then also, I refer to our people as original people. And the efforts who basically coined a universal term for our people, you know, a universal term that, you know, is befitting of our people. Because, you know, let's start at the historical accuracy part. We were, and are, the original people of this planet, like, we existed long before anything else existed, you know, before anything was, we was. Everything can be linked to our existence. We pretty much invented everything. Every modern day, eventually, you can think of, you can, you know, trace this roots back to us. There was like an ancient version of it. And, you know, it's not an exaggeration, it's a fact, proven facts. You know, we were, we was the original everything. We were the original educators. We were the original architects. We were the original philosophers. We was the original alchemist, astrologers, astronomers, you know, because astrology, and, you know, that's different. It sounds similar, but it's different, man. But we was original pretty much everything. We built pretty much everything. We invented pretty much everything. We originated everything. So that's why I refer to our people as original people from the historical standpoint. And then every segment, I also want to, you know, kind of debunk something, you know, this false narrative about slavery. The powers that shouldn't be has assigned slavery. So our people is the most definitive point of our existence. They do this for a lot of reasons. The main reason is to, you know, fear monger us. Another reason they do it is to divide us as a people. It's a very sad, crying shame that we are divided, you know, within our culture about slavery, you know, because the people would come from the air quotes, the homeland. They don't want to stand with us. They say we're weak. We got captured in the slave trade. So a few things I want to point out about, you know, the false narrative of the slave trade. Number one, it wasn't the most definitive part of our culture. As said previously stated, we were and are the original beings of this planet, which means we was here first, which means we was everywhere first. Every corner of the globe you can name, there was a large concentration of our people living there. Thousands of years before slavery, thousands of years before any sick individual conceived in their minds to form a system where they would alienate, isolate people, strip and rob them of their dignity and their identity. We lived thousands of years before that idea was ever conceived. But yet the powers it should be to try to make that the most definitive part of our resistance. And it just wasn't. We was kings and queens. We ruled all we surveyed. We talked civilization. All we ever did was bring enlightenment everywhere we existed. We taught people how to survive. We invented religion. We invented spirituality. We gave people a purpose to live. We never tried to force our belief systems on other people. We never robbed people. We never raped people. We never pillaged. We never bought war. We bought war, but not like after war was bought to us. We didn't initiate conflict. We only defended ourselves. Now, sure, of course, we fought amongst ourselves had disagreements. All civilizations do. But that wasn't our initial, like, our sole purpose of being. Our sole purpose of being wasn't to conquer. We didn't live for the conquest like other civilizations did. We taught enlightening knowledge of self. That's what we, you know, is our true nature. So when they're, you know, teaching us about slavery, they're trying to fear-monger us. They're trying to create this image where we was cowering, who was docile, and, you know, they want to just perpetuate a time where we couldn't defend ourselves, speak up for ourselves, and had to be dependent on somebody else other than ourselves. That's what they're creating with the false narrative of slavery. Another false narrative, like I said, you know, we didn't get to all points of the world on slave boats, especially here in the Americas. We was already indigenously located there. All corners of the globe was already large quantities of our people living there on their own free will. Now, yes, you know, there was people enslaved. Yes, they did go get some key words, some people from Africa and transport them to some ports outside of Africa, you know, in the Transatlantic slave trade. But the majority of the brown, complex people living anywhere in the world, anywhere in the world, especially here in the Americas, were already there. They came up with labels and systems and enslaved them people. There was already there, stole their land from them, came up with the name black. That's why I refer to our people as original people and enslaved them. But pretty much the main reason why they tried to popularize slavery and why they spent so many millions of dollars into slavery is just basically they're trying to create the ideal of slavery, they're trying to like romanticize it basically. You know, they're trying to fear monitor like they're trying to really be real devices with it. They're sharing inaccurate facts. They're just showing us pictures of slave boats and, you know, having all these guided tours and museums and ancient places where they say slow slaves wrong. The slaves did this and the slaves did that, but they're not backing it up with any scholarship. They're just telling us this and we're not challenging it. So it's like, you know, they're being real divisive with the slave, the whole slave narrative. They want to just basically program fear and, you know, try to make us on a subconscious level, be afraid to question authority, stand up to authority and overthrow authority if need be. So that's why they just keep on, you know, promoting the whole slave thing, especially here in the Americas. You know, they just want to instill that fear in us. Some more false narratives, our involvement in the slave trade, trying to say, you know, your own people sold you out. That's how you got got over here. You know, they lie about our involvement in it. You know, the time span that it went on, the routes, you know, just a whole bunch of lies and inaccuracies. But, you know, the main takeaway about the false narrative that I just want to hit home with is just like, you know, the majority of browns, skin people anywhere in the world was already originally there. And the explorers or of the air quotes new world, all they really did is just enslaved the people of the lands that they visited. So they didn't just for hundreds of years, keep going to one spot Africa, taking African slaves and transporting them in different parts of the world for hundreds of years. That doesn't even make sense. So yeah, they did take some of them, but not all of them, not in that time span, you know, like I said, was the original people, there was an ancient civilization of our people anywhere in the world. So that's all I want to make known about, you know, the false narrative about slavery. And then just rounding it out, the reason why I refer to our people as original people on the unity besides just really the coin universal phrase for all of this, because there's so many different types of us, so many different land masses and so many different nationalities and religions and spirituality and, you know, every other difference you can possibly name or think of or concede, we have that within our people. But we forget all those differences, we have many similarities. And some similarities are that, you know, we all possess high concentrations of melanin aka carbon or carbon aka melanin, my bad. We all contrast our lineage back to the original point of origin for our civilization, and that we just are connected as a people. We all have that unspoken bond, and we're all fighting against the same form of oppression, just in different ways. You know, it hits the different, you know, here in America versus, you know, the UK or, you know, UK versus Haiti or it hits a little different, but essentially it's the same form of oppression. We all have that in common. We all have just nuances within our culture in common, as all other cultures do. But here's the thing though, it's like people outside of our culture, when they look at people that look like us, they just say, you know, they're black. They don't say, you know, you're Jamaican, you're Nigerian, you're from the islands, you're from Barbados, you're trendy, you're antiquing, you're whatever the case may be. They just say you're black and be done with it. But only we point out all those differences. So, you know, I would say a universal identifier for our people should be original people. You know, it's historically and scientifically accurate, you know, and not only that, it's just empowering and it's impactful. There's nothing that really trumps the original copy. Everything pales in comparison to the original copy. The original copy is the most important, is that's where you collect all your data. That's where you, you know, analyze it. So, when you're making something new, you know, you got the original to look at. And we are the original, where the original blueprint for humanity, they all started with us. You have any idea how powerful that is being the first? Nobody but us can say we wasn't the first. So, that's why I refer to our people as original people here on the narrative podcast. Now, my listening audience, you guys can refer to yourselves as whatever you want them to refer to yourself as. You want to say, you know, you claim your nationality cool, claim your nationality. You want to call yourself African American cool. You want to call yourself FBA cool. You want to call yourself a Negro cool. But on here, the narrative podcast, I refer to our people as original people. All right. So, that's it. And that's all with the synopsis of the narrative podcast. You know, if you're still a little hazy, I'm old, well over 300 episodes in, go through my episode log, download this episode, and I'll previously record episodes of the narrative podcast. But now we're diving into the content for this evening. I have my content split up in the sections. I have two sections. This evening, section one is positive news articles. And in section two is commentary. And I refer to a commentary section as my speaking point section. So positive news article section and speaking point section is what I've been presenting tonight. And so it's the positive news articles with what's that all about. So the narrative podcast is all about positive frames of reference about our people and our culture. And the positive frames of reference about our people and our culture that I shared during the weekday come in the form of positive news articles. And the reason why I share positive news articles as a form of, you know, frame of reference is basically the counter, the negative frames of reference that we're exposed to on a daily basis by the media, everything in the media across all media platforms pertaining to our people and our culture is all negative. And it's intentionally done. So it's a form of psychological warfare when they do it, when they use propaganda to, you know, portray our people's images and our likenesses. So it also wreaks havoc on our subconscious on our subconsciouses, like we're just absorbing all that negativity on a daily basis. We can't unsee it. We can't unhear it. It's in, you know, it's in the news. It's in movies. It's in television. It's in music. It's in, you know, literature. It's in periodicals. It's in advertisements. We never get a break from the negativity. So that's why I'm doing, you know, positive news articles to just give us a break, you know, from constantly being exposed to negativity. So having said that, the first positive news article this evening on this week, the edition of the narrative podcast, the headline reads, tired of getting scanned, she became a mechanic, opened up a repair shop to help other women.

Arlo Washington found is the founder and CEO at People's Trust Community Federal Credit. He's a little rock Arkansas native. He started supporting his family at 19 due to his mother's untimely passing. He moved to the east coast where he ended up becoming a model and also learned how to cut hair. So he became a barber, returned back to Arkansas to go to college, he opened two barber shops using student loan money. And then a decade later, he expanded his barbershop and then bought seven more barbershops and opened his own barber college. Then he had an epiphany in 2009. He noticed people were coming to the barbershop college to get a payday loan and then instantly made a choice to transition from barbering to starting his own bank. He used a thousand dollars of the profit that he made from his barber college and his other barbershops. He started People's Trusts and that's pretty much his story.

speaking points i just want to go over this evening none too crazy well my first section is just like uh it's going to sound a little bit like gossip it's going to sound a little petty but you know like i said this is a place of truth i do talk the truth and i feel i can you know go super in because number one this person is not like us so i don't really feel too bad you know kamala harris she's been getting right through the co-op coz for her um her fake accent she tried to do in her last uh you know presidential speech and you know the internet is just ripping her a new one and she deserves all that smoke because you all got to do all that it's like i said originally you know i don't really support the whole voting thing you know and you're free to vote for whomever you want to vote for that's your business that's your vote is your business you can root for whatever candidate you want to root for vote for whoever you want to root for you know vote for whoever you want to vote for your business your vote your business your life um but uh if if you're going to vote at all just make sure you're uh um make sure you're taking emotions out of it make sure you're taking emotions out of it make sure you're looking at policy that's what voting is supposed to be what candidate is backing the types of things you want for your community what types of things you want for yourself that's who you should be voting for if you know if you just really want to be out here vote but uh Kamala Harris definitely deserves all the ridicule because you know number one she's not black so i don't understand within my community how we've elected her to be the face of us and we're trying to embrace her as a sister and she not a sister rachel dole is all is more a sister than Kamala Harris she was called occasion but she was in the community doing the work her work ethic matched Rachel Dole is always getting stuff done and doing stuff for us poor thing she want to be you know she want to be black so bad she lied about it but at the end of the day she was doing things that benefited our community the work that she was involved in helped us so it's it's a sad thing that she wasn't black at the end of the day she wasn't born with any of our you know lifeblood flowing through her but you know she's still better than Kamala because like it's the pandering for me you don't got a pander that hard you need to fire your handlers whoever's handling Kamala they need to tell her you know you need to tell them like chill out like somebody black in the room just around that campaign tell Kamala Harris's handlers and chill out chill out with all that pandering because she's just making a damn fool out of herself she looks crazy as hell trying to be hit trying to you know be with she thinks is black she's just sitting up there 60 years old talking about ask Quavo would say don't know who the hell Quavo is don't know who the Migos are got that just insip it cackling hike in a tight laugh like lady she'll tell down somewhere for real just knock it all the way off the blackest closest blackest thing you ever been is when he was dating Montetel Williams and that's only because he's let me stop i was about to say something messy you know how it's fitting to go with it you got some black in you baby hey but that's where it stops though that's where it stops like just knocking all the way off i find her like past insulting you don't got to do all that pandering so like yeah that said that she hasn't done any work in the community any work for the community so aside bar all the celebrities that's backing Kamala Harris this moment of truth hour i am beseeching all the entertainers in our community it's currently backing madam vp please after you get your little check deposited after you get your money for endorsing her when you get the cameras when they come up on you you know interviewing you while you're backing Kamala Harris please do yourself a favor do your children a favor if you have children do your parents a favor or whomever raised you a favor and just tell the truth you endorsing Kamala for the money just say it we ain't gonna think no less of you but it's like don't assault the people talking about she's the best choice for us she has our best interest in mind the lady that said you know during when it was like joe in a Donald back neck and neck you know her first words either her mouth was i'm not going to do in a just only for the black community that's her first words but she needs the the black community to secure the vote so you see she's in power right now she can do things right now she can sign executive orders right now to get stuff in motion for our community that she needs so bad um and then with the migrant crisis so now if you haven't heard now they don't uh they don't move that Venezuelan gang they got Venezuelan gang activity in Chicago in the old block now they're moved over with their shenanigans over there and you know she can do something about that she's in power right now she can do something about that minutes that threat she can do something about that right now but check check this out i don't own the rights to this but i want you all to hear this all right my bad i forgot you know i had the video saved to something but it was a news reporter talking to a uh Venezuelan migrant and they was breaking down all the benefits they get that they come over here with said they get for individual five thousand dollars on a prepaid debit card just for one person it's 10 with the fed or 10 with a family five thousand dollars in food stamps section eight vouchers they don't have to pay rent for two whole years free clothes vouchers and then um first crack a job training free job training free education and they're running a damn muck but um we ain't gonna have to worry about her stepping in as soon as they start doing something to white people that's when all hell's gonna break loose right now they're just messing with us as soon as they start doing stuff as soon as they start messing with rich white people oh they're all going up out of here they're just messing with common white people now white people at the poverty line working class as soon as they start messing with upper upper middle class white people and first class white people every single last one of them gone then they're gonna hurry up and build the wall but point being she can do something about that right now but she's too busy cackling and making a damn fool out of herself and making a mockery out of our people to be effective but that's all i'm i'm cool on her it's just like you know that was my only speaking point like she deserves to get drug for her fake accent like knock it off bro i just i don't know how and it breaks my heart so many resilient sisters in our community is using their platform to back back this woman who quite frankly she sounds drunk on all her you know speeches and deliveries like her words are slurring she has incoherent moments now buying this fool was sitting up there falling down she's the female Biden clumsy as hell fumbling her words just to embarrass me already i don't see how so many highly sophisticated highly educated sisters is putting that up on the pedestal and saying she represents our people she's the best choice for us that train wreck like if you're gonna vote for somebody just because they black vote for Cornell West is running my sister i'm wuss from sister at that that's who should be the uh you know the savior if you're talking about like who who represents our people the most but i had somebody in the soil that then did the work but you sitting up here putting a woman that's made a career out of blocking our brothers and brothers up like come on man that breaks my heart i see so many super educated sisters like waving up big banners like i like again i vote for whoever you want to stay true to your heart don't worry about what nobody else is talking about but at the end of the day like really look at this lady really listen to how you sound saying anybody but Trump now again i'm not endorsing the presidency period i'm definitely not uh endorsing or stamping anything that comes out of that guy's mouth you know like i'm just like the rest of y'all like look at this before we're talking about grabbing women by the vajayj and all the stupid stuff he was saying but policy wise policy wise he said build a wall and now look at us and then another thing to his point our government as well as a lot of governments tend to do is pick pick people like him people that just have have a um a personality that is considered um arrogant to vilify them so you know make them you know the prime example of everything that's wrong so they're trying to use him to say he's the most racist president that we ever had in the entire world in all like in every administration him he's the most he's the most racist okay but something that you know government systems do is they vilify people they kind of actually get results um just like uh the government just like uh the lebanese government vilify momar godoff so they spent all their power focusing on the bad stuff he did and he did some pretty terrible stuff but they didn't focus on none of the good stuff he did their people had free housing free health care there was no homelessness there was no uh famine people weren't starving and he was trying to before they got him up out of there he was trying to link up with africa the side of peace treaty within and he was going to bring resources to africa you see what the governments do they just um a point who they want to be the villain so if he's so bad if he's so horrible horrendous why haven't they gotten rid of him why haven't they just wiped him away like just flick flick him off the uh glow that he's so like horrendous if he he's just the end all be all of all things bad yeah we had a political uprising when he was in office and it seemed like certain groups felt you know brave you know felt you know attached and yeah he was using some dog whistles he was using some dog whistles but at the end of the day there was it was going to happen anyway because it don't matter who sits in that seat like in essence the president's just a figurehead anyway but the difference between him and other presidents is they can't control that figurehead they don't know what's going to come out of his mouth so he does tell a lot of lies but he then he tells a lot of truth too and so he you know he deviates from the script that's the most different thing from him than all the other presidents they just go along with the script he deviates from the script he makes his own place says what he wants to say when he wants to say it how he wants to say it to his point now not to his point like a you know is he so bad is he worse than any other president than we had is he be worst ever and again not endorsing him not co-signing them i'm just saying how divisive our government and all governments are how they vilify people they get results for the people but um yeah old uh come out like come out come out come come come out come out come out lately kk you know she can stop a lot of the uh the bs right now that's going on until election she can follow a lot of executive orders on the whole lot of stuff right now like joe literally had one job a cancel student loan debt she can do that right now she want to spend no none of her parties not no no supporters she can do that right now is she doing it is she filling out the executive orders to get the student loan debt canceled new know what she's doing she's on getting up in front of the cameras making it down for a lot of herself trying to do the latest hip-hop dance looking stupid sounding stupid with that stupid cackle all right i kind of over talked that point i didn't mean to like i said i tried to time all my episodes and i went way way over talking about that lady but um my last uh speaking point of the evening is our brother marlin wands he just broke the internet with his club shay shay interview 1.4 million views in less than 24 hours take that flat you know and then i think on his um i think his instagram he put up underneath blad like uh i think of like a check chest chest board emoji or something like checkmate like he's saying checkmate but he said he wasn't worth no 40 grand and now he's kicking himself in the tail hushed in the gave him a 40 grand that was generous like that was very modest price for somebody of his caliber because he's been the a-lister since really if you want to keep it real since um 94 he's he's he's loaned all the hollywood big hollywood big wigs since 94 done played all the rooms as a comedian as a actor than being in all the rooms around all the uh major production labels all the uh film you know production like he is a force whether you want to concede to it or not all the whole way in his family they're all you know in the individual force on their own especially king of ivory way in spring this this suck sucker to tell him he ain't worth no 40 g's so like take that karma is the best payback and he let you know he let karma work he break break the internet like they just right now breaking it down in the sections so like i never thought you know no other interview there was everyone arrival to cat Williams the marlin way is interview rivals cat i didn't think he was going to have no other guests to rival the other cat Williams interview but yeah marlin way is interview rival cat Williams now there's a whole lot of stuff he says that i don't agree with far as like you know you know the other community but um pretty much everything else coming out of his mouth is super positive super down the earth super impactful um he just spreads love and positivity for the most part and definitely been in the game knows the politics of the industry i mean like growing up wins like you know he grew up in the trenches so you can't tell him nothing like he can't come that's a dude you can't come in with no sob story because he can out sob story but uh yeah so these are glad goddess come up is then they try to backtrack and peddle and offer a fake ass apology talking about he was out of pocket and and all that like you shouldn't have never said it anyway that's your whole problem you always just feeling you can say whatever you want to say about our culture when you know nothing of it you married to a black woman and you still have no idea you can smoke a million blunts with a million rappers you will never know what it's like to be us our culture is our culture our our identity is our identity and you should be way more humble than you are to be amongst you know a great culture as affluent as ours you should be way more appreciative to the guests that you do have and you should apologize to each and every other guests that you don't violate it and we still wait on the apology for the minister punk but but yeah though I got a little worked up there I think I'm gonna take the Marlon Wayans approach and get cool and get super cool and just let karma do his job but his little sink is shipping uh his little sink his little ship is sinking now part me I got some time uh yeah it's just like that's so refreshing to see people like that get they come up and have to eat a big old slice of humble pie because they sit up there flapping they big mouth and they don't know what they talking about well
