Greetings Family, welcome to Help Stop The Genocide In American Ghettos Podcast I’m your host Emmanuel Barbee. If you are new to this channel or podcast then please subscribe and share our content with your friends this will help grow our audience. I provide a written transcript in the group with the same name on Facebook for those of who don’t speak English. I also site all of my sources under Show and Prove section you can find all of my work under the About section on this Youtube channel.

I use this platform to interact with everyone on my friends list and everyone in my social groups by giving Black business owners free air time to promote their products and services, I give people in the faith community an opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ and ordinary law abiding citizens an opportunity to share their special talents/skills to my listeners from the podcast community.

After the show I offer my guest speakers an incentive by teaching them how to create their own podcast & Youtube channel to help them earn extra revenue during COVID-19. I also assist people on my friends list with creating basic websites, finding college scholarships/grants; housing & legal services all for free.

Our goal this year is to raise $500,000 for our film project (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). I would like to thank those of you who have donated to our film project.

I encourage people from my friends list and people in my social groups who want to be part of our film project please send me your email address to my Facebook inbox. We will hold a private conference through Google Meetings to discuss the best method of reaching others via social media, people from there friends list, donors & local businesses.

(GRCAI of Chicago) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago mission is to help eradicate urban violence in Chicago through our programs and services. Our objective is to build a bridge between the Diaspora and continental Africans through arts, culture and commerce. (GRCAI of Chicago) will be in the business of creating docu-dramas, short films, theater, photography, fine arts, music, poetry, literature, sculpture, dance and spiritual development for inner city youth. Once this virus is cleaned up we plan on launching African tours in order for us to move from behind a computer and make real connections with our Global Black Family on continent starting in South Africa.

I created (GRCAM) the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement because I got tired of all of the division among Black People. I created GRCAM in 1991 on a site called Gopher. I wanted to create an organization that focus specifically on solving black issues in America. I wanted to connect with other like-minded African Americans, Afro-Brazilians, Afro-Caribbeans, Afro-Europeans, African Immigrants and Afro-Latinos through out the Diaspora.

This is a podcast where we talk about solving Black issues/African issues using a spiritual perspective as it pertains to the great awakening of our people that has been prophesied. Our objective is to get our film project fully funded and play it by ear during COVID-19. Once this virus is cleaned up then we will shoot our film and promote our film in selected movie theaters and sell our DVDs. Together we will put GRCAM on the map and turn my vision for Black America into a reality.

In 2021 and beyond The Grass Roots Community Activist Movement will be promoting a policy of Global Black Unity, Ownership and Community Support. Our objective is to be in a place where we own everything we consume and we support one another. We’re reaching out to our group members and listeners and would like to encourage them to support our film project (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins) in three ways which are as follows:

1. Though our virtual store GRCAM Merchandise such as a COVID Facemask, Coffee Mugs, Posters, Handbag and T-shirts. All proceeds will go towards our film project.

2. Though our nonprofit organization (GRCAI of Chicago) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago Paypal Page. Donation can be used as a tax right off because this is a legitimate 501(c)(3). All donations are deductible to the full extent allowed by law.

3. You can support us by purchasing my revised book on Amazon through my Author Page.

Keep in mind community support is where we have to go and please understand when you’re supporting our Youtube channel or our podcast you’re supporting an independent black network which will eventually employ Black People in our films, stage plays and in our actual business. I need African entrepreneurs especially in South Africa to come on the show and promote your businesses and ministries to the Diaspora and vice versa.

Instructions on how to participate on the show:

First watch my video-podcast this is called side A. After I finish my presentation then I will open up the phone lines through Facebook messenger this is called side B. You can interact with me in real time either a Voice call by clicking on the Phone icon or Video call by clicking on the Camera icon. With that being said tonight’s segment is entitled (GRCAM Family Business: We’re All In This Together) We are going to touch on some heavy topics from the Derek Chauvin verdict and my message to African Entrepreneurs.

I understand many of you have lives outside of social media I get that I am not on here seeking attention I want to interact with everyone on my friends list & everyone in my social groups. On Facebook I have 1,500 people on my friends list. At this point it’s just me and Sister Rena we are looking for at lease three Grant Writers within the United States to assist us in getting targeting grant money from Donors, Sponsors, and corporations to help fund our film project. If interested please send me a message to my Facebook inbox. You do not necessarily have to live in Chicago to be part of our Film Project. I only want to discuss business with those of you who are serious. This is the best that I can do for now until God connect me with other like minded Black People who will work with me and Sister Rena in turning our story into a motion picture.

I want to talk to my young black listeners between the ages of 18 to 35 where are my Black Millennials or Generation Y and Generation Z? You are the one I want to have in my urban film but first I am trying to raise $500,000 so that I can be in a better position financially to hire qualified film crew such as Sound Technician, Graphic Designers, Assistant Director, Director of Photography, Camera Assistant, Hair & Makeup Artist and Production Assistant and of course quality actors. Those who join my film project will go down in history with me and Sister Rena.

If you are on my friends list or in my social groups and you have no idea of who I am shame on you. Every since January second I have been hosting my video-podcast every Thursday evening in hopes of connecting with other like minded Black People from around the globe in order to raise funds for my film project.

I was unable to reach my Generation which is Generation X due to the fact that this Willie Lynch mentality within black society has caused real damage to our racial group. The black family as we know it is under attack and majority of Black Americans/African Americans have become Americanized “I Got Mine You Get Yours.” I created the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement for you and for the Global Black Family. We will raise the bar in Black America, Africa, the Caribbean and Brazil.

The only thing which is preventing me from turning my virtual Christian socialist organization (GRCAM) into a real Christian Business (GRCAI of Chicago) the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago is the lack of manpower and the capital this is why I turned to social media to get my message out to the public through my Youtube videos, my Social Groups, my Blog Postings, my online talkshow, my revised book (The Solution For Black America: Reclaiming, Rebuilding And Restoring The Urban Ghettos In America) second edition and now through my future urban Christian film/Docu-drama (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins). This is my last attempt to try to do something positive for my racial group in America. I don’t have another 29 years to waste. Work with me while I am alive don’t wait until I am dead to embrace my ideas work with me now. Before I cut and run to Africa I want to create my Christian business on the Westside and Southside of Chicago. This would be my credibility so when we expand our Christian business in Africa I would not have to waste time explaining who I am and what I’ve done for my people who are trapped in American ghettos my business will speak for itself.

I want to get this film project fully funded and made so that I can reach the black masses or the Global Black Family. It’s my hope that the proceeds from my film will put me in a better position financially to purchase office equipment, hire qualified Black Middle Class Professionals, purchase property in Chicago and in Africa. This is not business as usual this is personal. Family we have to become problem solvers we will practice group economics that’s what we will teach our members at the Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago. As black people we try to do everything to avoid our problems such as drinking or using drugs instead of confronting our problems head on. What ever problem you focus on you will eventually come up with a solution to that problem. This is why I wrote my revised book (The Solution For Black America) second edition.

I use to ask the question how come black celebrities won’t do anything to help our inner cities? Because the Oprah’s and Michael Jordan’s receive their bread and butter from the Financial elites which means they’re not going to do anything or create anything that will empower just Black People at lease in America. The Financial elites pay Coons & Sellouts to undermine our interest. We’re the only group who’s members are incentivized to undermine everyone else. You can’t build anything without resources.

This is why I’ve been constantly encouraging our members to pool our resources together so that we can take our story to the Big screen in order to reach the Global Black Family beyond cyberspace. Once this film is fully funded and made then we will go down in history for starting out as an online group to becoming a real black Christian business. (Hood Liberator Made In Chicago: The War Against Willie Lynch Begins) will be funded and made by members of the Grass Roots Community Activist Movement. GRCAM has been on Facebook for 17 years, we started off as a Christian groups & Secular groups now we are expanding our network to include creating independent black films and black media. we don’t have large sponsors we have to reply on people on my friends list and people in my social groups. I created GRCAM in such a time as these so that we can relay information with each other without having to depend on the dominant society.

Our next film project will take place in South Africa. The name of the film is entitled (African Liberator: The Battle Against Colonized Mindset). My assistant group leader Evangelist Martha Mumba from South Africa she assist me with my Facebook group (GRCAI of Africa) I will give her an opportunity to be part of our second film once we are successful with the first film. This is why I need my GRCAI of Africa members to step up and encourage their family or friends from your country who reside in Canada, Europe or in the United States to send me a friend request along with there email address so that I can email them everything I do online. It’s not my burden alone but rather a shared burden for I am just one black man with a vision and a plan, it takes a team to make a dream work. This is why I keep bring up Nehemiah he did not rebuild the walls of Jerusalem by himself he had qualified Architects, Brick Layers and Engineers.

On this show I discuss social issues that are affecting Black America. If you are unable to participate on the show then please when you have a moment listen to my video-podcast leave a public comment on my Facebook Page and share with your friends this will help get the ball rolling.

Our first topic The Derek Chauvin verdict

The Derek Chauvin verdict went in our favor and that’s a good thing but we should not be celebrating that’s one case out of hundreds. Family Derek Chauvin verdict had nothing to do with the Congressional Black Caucus, the Black Boule, Crump or Black Lives Matter. This is the same con game they pulled in the 1960’s. The reason why Derek Chauvin was convicted is because of the black grass roots, the black media and the protesters out in these streets.

I came across an article from USA Today it talked about how the senate recently pass the Asian American Hate Crime Bill yet nothing for us. According to USA Today COVID-19 Hate Crimes Bill to fight Asian American discrimination passes senate. The senate passed overwhelming bipartisan support a hate crime bill to address a drastic increase in violence and discrimination against Asian Americans during the COVID-19 pandemic. The article mention the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act cleared the chamber in a 94 to 1 vote Thursday. The article goes on to say it would expedite the Justice Department’s review of hate crimes and would designate an official at the department to oversee the effort.

It also would task department with coordinating with local law enforcement groups and community based organizations to facilitate and raise awareness about hate crime reporting, including establishing an online hate crime reporting systemin multiple languages. It’s all kinds of other benefits. On top of that the White House issued a document where it says additional things the Biden Administration plan to do for the Asian community and that includes nearly 50 million dollars for domestic violence they experience during the pandemic. We as Black People have experience the worst treatment than any other group in America.

You can’t get Democrats and Republicans to agree on anything specifically for black people but overwhelmingly 94 to 1 both Democrats and Republicans voted for COVID-19 Hate Crimes Bill. There are different groups that are coming into the country who are beneficial to the dominant society. For those of you who voted for Joe Biden we told you don’t vote for someone that refuse to tell you if they’re going to do something specifically for black people now you understand why. They required no study for this bill for Asian Americans. Not only are they going to get specific protections they’re also getting a bag. The only way congress could justify doing this was to create a false narrative that black people are attacking Asians. That’s what gave congress cover to do this. While black people was celebrating Derek Chauvin conviction the Asian community was working behind the scenes they got a bill passed in the most bipartisan senate ever. The mainstream media had us focus on once case which is important that we support the George Floyd family the Asian community was working behind the scenes to get legislation and money for their people and their community. We better make these career politicians pay on the next election.

Those of you who have a platform I encourage you to ask Don Lemon, Joy Reid, Trevor Noah and or any black person with a large following ask them how come they’re not replaying the audio where Joe Biden was lashing out to the Civil Rights leaders when he said “America is doom not just because of black people” after Black America had just delivered him the presidency. Biden used his position as a senator fighting against black people for over 40 years and yet black people rewarded him by helping him win the 2020 election. If Trump had said the exact same thing MSNBC & CNN would have been making all kinds of ratings. Let’s face it family America is trying to replace us. They’re doing this because we’re no longer just going to be they’re political whores and give our votes to people who refuse to do anything for us our vote is for sale. We as black people are entitled to resources from the American government for three reasons:

1. We pay taxes
2. Our ancestors built the United States of America
3. The Democrats owe black people for helping them win elections

According to CNN Vice President Kamala Harris announced that the US will be sending $310 million dollars to Central America yet another specific for black people. I found another article from the New York Times entitled “A COVID-19 Relief Fund Was Only For Black Residents Then Came The Lawsuits.” Basically what the article was discussing was the State of Oregon was going to give black business owners 60 million dollars. After the State of Oregon pass the measure to give black business owners money two business owners one white and the other latino decided to file a lawsuit claiming discrimination. When ever black people try to get some benefits just for our group it always have to include everyone else. Asian Americans can get 50 million dollars for their group no one is filing a lawsuit. That $310 million dollars for Central America no one is filing a lawsuit. The black community need to start filing lawsuits and discrimination by the Biden Administration because it only offers protection for Asians under the COVID-19 Hate Crimes Act. We have to constantly fight for resources as long as we remain in America that’s why I encourage my group members to apply for dual citizenship life is to short to be going through unnecessary drama.

I have a video clip of Candance Owens I really don’t like playing her stuff she is bought and paid for by the political right Republicans. They are crying foul saying it was an unfair trial. Let’s be clear the judge over the case still has not sentence him as of yet. Black People have a bad habit of going into celebration mode when there is way too much work to be done. The white supremacists look at this case as a lost. I have a video clip on my Medium Page about a black teenage girl in Ohio who was shot and killed by a Rogue Cop. The mainstream media tried to justify the shooting by saying she had a knife. This girl was being threaten by a group of teens she was trying to defend herself.

Family it’s getting real dangerous out here in these streets. I want black people to understand we are under attack not only with Rogue Cops but also Urban Terrorist within the black community. On the Westside of Chicago a 7 year old black girl by the name of Jaslyn and her father Jonte Adams was shot in a McDonald’s drive-thru as they were waiting for their order. An employee said they saw two men jump out of their vehicle and begin shooting into the vehicle of Jonte Adams. Jaslyn was shot six times, she was rush to the hospital where she was pronounced dead. Her father was shot twice he is in critical condition. This is so unfortunate. I get tired of talking about senseless violence that is happening in the black community but someone has to do it. The two suspects who committed this act are still at large. A community activist by the name of Andrew Holmes said the following “If you have any kids, have you ever taken your kids to McDonald’s? You pumped six and a half bullets in that baby. That don’t make you a man. That don’t make you a gangster!” He’s absolutely right something is wrong with this picture when you shoot into a McDonald’s drive-through where parents have their children some fool decide to ambush someone.

Mayor Lori Light Foot tweeted the following “I am heartbroken and angered that a 7 year old child was killed this afternoon on Chicago’s Westside. This unthinkable act of violence has no place here. The epidemic of gun violence cutting our children’s lives short cannot go on. While I agree with her I want to know does that include her officers who murdered a child Adam Toledo who was killed by Chicago Police a few weeks ago. The police said he had a gun but when we looked at the body Camera he had his hands up there was no gun. We can’t keep talking about our children being killed whole sale. Hopefully those Urban Terrorist will be caught and brought to justice. What GRCAM is trying to teach our members to stay on code, stay together and continue to push for true Freedom, Justice, and Equality.

When Rogue Cops pull up pay attention to their badge number and if possible get their name so that yall can give that information to us and we can can do the research on these guys and their social media pages. I want black people to understand we have to be the justice enforcers in this day and age because the laws are not enforced to protect us. Law makers are throwing hate crimes at black people just for bumping into an Asian person. Family that’s something we have to start calling out. We need to be proactive and codified. All of these prosecutors who are not giving hate crimes charges to Rogue Cops or white supremacists who harm us but they’re giving hate crime charges to black people who does something to an Asian person start writing down their names we need the names of these prosecutors on a national level. We are not men and woman if we just sit around and allow Rogue Cops & Urban Terrorist to continue murdering our children at will.

My next topic my message to African Entrepreneurs.

The African Diaspora is apart of Africa you are us and we are you there is no separation between us. If our ancestors have not been forced into slavery we would not have to return to our ancestral homeland we’ve would have already been here. 400 years of waiting for a welcome is far too long. Special shout out to Ghana for creating the Year of Return. The Grass Roots Community Activist Institute of Chicago want to make real connections with our Continental brothers and sisters in my African group and on my Facebook friends list. Many of our brothers and sisters cannot make it back to the Motherland this is why we want to create satellite communities within the inner cities so that we can be an advocate for our members starting in Chicago.

We want to use our film project to help bring resources to the inner cities by connecting with local African Entrepreneurs to do trade with Black Americans and vice versa. We also want to set up chapters in each African country that we will visit during our African tour. We want to work with African governments to help speed up citizenship process within 5 years or less in exchange for our talent and skills. We also want equal rights just like other African citizens. We want to invest in African countries on an equal basis and equal footing. Our investment would help improve the African economy. We want to have proper business development in order to address Agricultural technology, creating alternative energy such as Wind and Solar, solving rolling blackouts and water filtration in West Africa. We want to learn the language and culture of each country we make our presence in. We would like to recommend a public holiday to commemorate our ancestors journey. We want to be included in the African constitution. Citizenship is not just about having a passport it’s about financial security. This is why it’s important to support black media because we can network and share relevant information with our people from around the globe. Now I am opening the phone lines for Q & A.
