00:00We've got a lot to lose.
00:02What do we want?
00:03Justice!
00:04You're a black supremacist, and I'm a white supremacist.
00:06We have more in common than you think.
00:11Hey guys, it's your girl Danielle Young on the red carpet in Harlem for the premiere of Godfather of Harlem.
00:16And we asked everybody, is there a such thing as black supremacy?
00:20That was when Malcolm and all of them were talking about, you know, separatism and separating themselves from the nation,
00:26like going all the way back to Marcus Garvey when he was going back to Africa.
00:29Malcolm was like saying that separate, not integration, separate.
00:34And that's what he was saying.
00:35He said that was a part of what he was talking about during that time.
00:37And so they had philosophies that were in some ways similar about separating the races and stuff.
00:41And I think the movie gets to this TV show explores a little bit like the polarity between like what's happening right now,
00:48the difference in sort of the nation being separated as such as it is so powerfully right now.
00:54Maybe it's just having power, having a certain power, having an alliance where you're respected on a level where it's not the color of your skin that makes it move.
01:06Right.
01:07And you can make move.
01:08And you know, we all know that Bumpy Johnson made, you know, move.
01:12It just means black first.
01:13I like it.
01:14I like the way that sounds, though.
01:15I like the information.
01:16Because, listen, I mean, we come from being underdogs.
01:19We come from being the dirt off someone else's heels.
01:22So at the same time, it takes strength, courage and, you know, and a lot of wisdom to rise up.
01:28And I think Bumpy Johnson, because I'm familiar with the story.
01:31So, you know, for him to accomplish what he accomplished in the era that he accomplished.
01:36Come on, man.
01:37What are we talking about?
01:38I don't think so.
01:39I think the element of the idea that black folks essentially mimic the massa.
01:44You know what I mean?
01:45To be able to find ways to elevate themselves.
01:47Right.
01:48But the idea about white supremacy that I think that I hope people start to get is that if you were to take every tsunami, tornado, every natural disaster and combine them all together, it's not as powerful as white supremacy.
02:02The idea that what is superlative doesn't look like us in every aspect of society.
02:07So I think once we can sort of unplug ourselves from that, we might be able to see ourselves elevate in a way that unapologetically.
02:15I think it's based on you as a person, like how boxed your mind is.
02:19You know what I mean?
02:20Like, I know people that never left the hood ever.
02:23You know what I mean?
02:24Same way you probably got white people who never left their town, never been around black people.
02:28So they got their ways and their mindset.
02:31So I think it go both ways.
02:32It just depends on the person and how open your mind is to, you know, being cool with the world and not just what you know.
02:40I think it's just us standing up with what we believe in.
02:42So, and on the show, like he said, I'm a white supremacist.
02:46You got what you believe in and I got what I believe in.
02:49But unfortunately, our beliefs have been oppressed for thousands of years.
02:52So it's just a difference, but I think, yeah, that part.
02:55So, yeah, there's a difference, but yeah, there is black supremacists.
03:02It's...
03:03And here's what we about...
