Chairman Fred Hampton Jr & MosDef

[Sourakhata]

I've listenned hard & I have to admit that much of what is said between
FH Jr and Pretty Flaco I did not understand! Both greatly inspired me, imagine my frustration!
The video is not of great quality, especially the sound which do not help me, it's outdoor, in the noisy streets, not mentioning both Brothers mad flows for ears like mine!
I hope though somebody will be patient & kind enough to help me to understand the ins & outs of our brothers warriorz discussion.

Peace

Whew! Brotha that was more than just a notion! i tried my best to transcribe it twice, but the traffic makes it impossible to do so verbatim. i'm not even sure if i caught the whole gist of the conversation but here at least is some of the flavor:

M.D.: .... (We need) another black identity outside of what American citizenship offers us... our experience, our sensibility, our values, our history done taught us .... i was inspired by what dead prez was doing with the RBG because it establishes another type of identity in a wide range of people from all types of different experiences, social backgrounds, economic backgrounds and embrace...
a unique opportunity to access....
we want to identify ourselves on an international level
similar to what the Palestinians were able to do, how they was able to make sure they stayed...
i think we have the opportunity to do that without having a military initiative...
i think we are in a unique position to just declare who we are and announce it to the world and insist that the world recognize us as such...
expand it to beyond the red white and blue ....


F.H.: (this part was really extremely difficult due to the traffic):

Black disciples, they're still disciples... they're the guards...
a lot of people deal with absolutes, we want you to go all the way and do this, no, no no...
revolution, what i mean is that you even had the prostitutes, even they could play a role...
everybody has different points of unity...

do the work...
you talk about internationalism or something...
even a different city...
same thing we want to do over here...
our forces that i work with...
political terms....
but in practice they be engaging in the same thing i'm trying to put down to them...

street organizations, we had the buddy systems, we had code green, code black and code red...
gangster disciples, the black disciples...
code red means they can't go out by themselves, strategic...

M.D.: From a protection point of view, security point of view...

F.H.: This thing going on all over...
make the prisoner think this is his world...
you got the joint, you got the cellblock, you got the cell...
same thing with the community...

M.D.: i'm just saying you mean the thing about talking about the west...
the intellectuals, the public record, and then that can be applied to...
now you can break that down to be digested, to all groups, all different types of understanding...
the united force...
it's time for us to get free, to really identify ourselves, in totality, as opposed to just be a citizen...
and for us to be patriotic is for us to be harriet tubman... malcolm, it has a different thrust for the whole world.

(sorry that's the best i could do, maybe somebody else can get more off of it than i could)
