71: Seven Shots

Family Courts and Domestic Dispute Police Involvement

The discussion shifts to the weaponization of 911 and family courts in domestic disputes, particularly within the black community. Mo Facts argues that the system encourages women to involve the state to remove men from the household, which he describes as engaging "white supremacy" through the legal system. The hosts advocate for community-based conflict resolution rather than relying on police for personal spats.

Hillary Clinton, Super Predators and 1994 Crime Bill

Hillary Clinton's infamous 1996 "super predators" speech is compared to Joe Biden's 1993 rhetoric. Both promoted the 1994 Crime Bill and the expansion of police forces to combat gangs. The hosts discuss how the Democratic Party abandoned its focus on rehabilitation in an effort to "out-crime" Republicans, leading to the mass incarceration of black youth.

The Black Boule and Historical Context of Crime Bills

The hosts discuss how segments of the Black community, including the "Boule" or elite leadership, originally supported aggressive policing in response to the 1980s crack epidemic. However, the implementation failed to distinguish between criminals and innocent citizens, effectively creating a state of "martial law" in minority neighborhoods. This historical context explains the complicated relationship between community leaders and the politicians who enacted harsh crime policies.

The Need for Independent Media and Cleaning House

The hosts call for a "cleaning of the house" within Black leadership and media, criticizing those who prioritize political alignment over historical facts. They emphasize that independent podcasting is the only venue where the "Bloomberg tapes" and these nuanced discussions can occur. Mo Facts argues that the community must address both the "top 10" leadership and the "bottom 10" criminal element to truly move forward.

Matriarchy in the Inner City and Police Relations

Judge Joe Brown argues that the shift from masculine community order to a state-reliant matriarchy has damaged community-police relations. The hosts point out the irony of calling for police to collect child support while simultaneously protesting police violence. They emphasize the importance of men fulfilling their responsibilities to provide and protect to keep the state out of the family unit.
