87: Ye & They

Billy Graham on the Race of Jesus

A 1971 clip of evangelist Billy Graham features him stating that Jesus was not a white man, but likely had dark skin consistent with the people of the Middle East and Africa. Graham emphasizes that Christianity is a world religion, not a "white man's religion." The hosts use this to support the idea that historical and scientific views on racial origins often conflict with modern cultural portrayals.

White Supremacy as a Global Religion

Neely Fuller Jr. describes white supremacy as the most powerful religion in history, surpassing Islam and Christianity. He clarifies that it is not about "skinheads" but about a global power structure that manages non-white people. The hosts conclude that the only way to beat the system is to stop being "humble" and "ineffective," and to recognize the "water" of indoctrination that everyone is swimming in.

The Ultimate Test of Religious Leadership

Neely Fuller Jr. provides a "test" for religious leaders: observe their actions when the system of white supremacy demands they do something contrary to their faith. This is applied to the recent vaccine mandates, where many leaders complied despite their followers' concerns. Fuller defines white supremacy as a global system of control that overrides individual beliefs and dictates reality "because I said so."

Black Hebrew Israelites, YouTube Content Policies

Mo Facts discusses the Black Hebrew Israelite movement and the theological belief that Black Americans are the true biblical Israelites, citing Deuteronomy 28. He questions why YouTube allows videos of aggressive street preachers from this group to remain on the platform while censoring other content, suggesting they are used as a "caricature" to demonize independent Black thought.

Kanye West on Cancel Culture and Christianity

Kanye West speaks on being "canceled" long before the term became mainstream and predicts that Jesus will eventually be removed from American public life. He criticizes "woke" culture for following a set of rigid rules rather than true independent thought.

Black Jesus in Pop Culture and Good Times

A clip from the 1970s sitcom *Good Times* shows the character JJ painting a "Black Jesus," leading to a family debate about religious representation. The segment references Revelation 1:14 to argue that the biblical description of Jesus (hair like wool) supports a non-white depiction. The hosts reflect on how such discussions were more open in the 1970s than they are today due to advertiser-driven "bullying" and cancel culture.

Morality, Religion, and the Cycle of Teenage Pregnancy

A woman on welfare shares her perspective that teenage pregnancy cannot be stopped by government programs, only by a return to moral values. She argues that while racism may have created the initial conditions, the community must take responsibility for its own self-destruction. Mo emphasizes that he is not pushing religion specifically, but rather the "structure of morality" that the church once provided.
