True story. When I saw that clip, I realized how people fear what is different, but they're starting to understand. A poll showed that 58% of Americans already agree with our views. We stand on the shoulders of those who fought for civil rights, including my parents and many activists. While progress has been made, there’s still much work to do. That’s why I want you in the White House. Change is happening, and we need to push it forward.

Black people sold black people; white people just paid for it. The speaker's great-great-grandmother was sold by her father to another black man, who then sold her to her husband. Slavery existed worldwide, including in the Arab, Persian, and Greek worlds, and among Europeans. Slavery is not unique to black people. Racism is given too much respect. Discrimination would still exist even in a mono-racial world; people would discriminate based on traits like eye color. As long as you are competition and a threat, someone will try to remove you, regardless of race. Conversely, if you add value, you will be appreciated, regardless of race.

What must I do in this council to earn respect as a Black woman? I’m not afraid of anyone here. I don’t harbor hate; I’m frustrated by the racial divisions and fear that paralyze us. We need to unite to protect our communities and ensure justice for all, rather than crucifying individuals based on allegations. This isn’t a court; everyone is innocent until proven guilty. I’m here to represent my community and advocate for racial equity, which often feels insincere. I stand firm in my purpose to serve and uplift others, regardless of political affiliations. If the voters choose not to re-elect me, that’s okay. I’m here to make a difference.

Speaker 0: What the do I have to do in this council in order to get respect as a black woman? I'm not afraid of anybody here. When I make a mistake, I will be clear. I don't hate you as a white woman. I don't hate you as a white man. I am sick and tired of this body so stupidly racially divided, so afraid, so depraved. People with no faith because they are afraid of their losing their advancement. They're afraid of bargaining. They're afraid of leveraging. These people have, oh my god. I can't even call you cowards because desperation deserves mercy. Cancer to redistricting. Fine. We give it to a white woman. Can we all get along? Can we get together? Can we love each other now? Can we make sure that black and brown babies don't die? Can we make sure that cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? Can we do that? No. No. No. No. Because this body crucifies you first because of allegations. This is not a court. You don't get to crucify people before they're proven guilty. They're innocent until proven guilty. Amen. Now after this, I will look forward to working with you because I have stamina. I believe, as Baldwin said, what you do not what you say. Your votes here sometimes are racist. You move sometimes in a way that hurts my people. Speaker 1: Yes. Say that. Speaker 0: And then when I get up to stand up and talk, oh, all she talks about is black stuff. Speaker 1: Yes. You should. Good. Speaker 0: I am here to represent every single black woman and man that suffers in the community. God has my back. Speaker 1: You got your Speaker 0: am not afraid to not have political asylum or any type of affiliations or connections. I came here, I fear none, no man, but my Lord. Amen. I came here to serve people. I came here to love. I came here to grow. But people talk about this racial equity thing. It's all fake. Speaker 1: Thank you. And Speaker 0: you do politics and you hurt each other. And yet, here I am, five foot tall African woman from the projects. And I am here to tell you, if the voters don't vote me back Speaker 1: We are get votes back.

I'm a straight white guy from Mississippi, but that doesn't define my capability to serve in the military. Harvey Milk, a navy diver, was discharged for being gay, and we lost valuable talent because of that. Now, transgender service members face similar exclusion. No one should be barred from defending this country for being who they are, nor should anyone have to hide their identity to serve. You face discrimination that I can't fully understand, but I recognize you as true patriots.

I have an honorary doctorate, a juris doctorate, and a bachelor's degree. I also hold the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Civil Air Patrol. I practiced law for almost 20 years and served on various boards, as well as being a former state lawmaker. Despite my qualifications, some may believe that my blackness and/or being a woman somehow makes me unqualified.

I am a black woman who used to be a Democrat but now a Republican. I'm tired of Democrats using fear and oppression to get votes. We all want safety and prosperity. Let's move past fear and anger, forgive each other, and vote for Donald Trump for a better future. Democrats owe us, not the other way around. Let's make them work for us.

I was the first Republican president, and I wanted to free the slaves. Democrats fought a war to keep their slaves. I issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves. I made equality for black people part of the Republican platform. Republicans passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th Amendments, ending slavery, granting citizenship, and allowing black Americans to vote. The first black senator and representatives were Republicans. Democrats founded the KKK, opposing the Republican Party and using violence against Republican leaders. They passed racist Jim Crow laws. Republican President Eisenhower sent the National Guard to protect black students integrating schools. More Republicans voted for the Civil Rights Act than Democrats. Republican presidents Nixon, Bush, and Trump furthered desegregation, appointed black justices, and supported black colleges and communities. Under Trump, black unemployment fell to the lowest ever and wages rose to the highest in history. So, who are the real racists? Be free!

I, a woman of color against the death penalty, ran for a position everyone said I couldn't win. On election night, my opponent claimed victory.

I want to discuss my experience with white privilege. I graduated from North Hollywood High with a 1.7 GPA and struggled to find a job. At 19, living in my family's garage while my mom relied on welfare, I approached a fire station about a job. They told me I couldn't be hired because I wasn't black, Hispanic, or a woman. For the next seven years, I worked at a construction site. Eventually, I received a letter to take the written exam for the LA fire department. While waiting in line, I spoke with a young woman of color who had signed up just days earlier. This illustrates my experience with white privilege.

I often face confusion when I mention being a conservative as a black person. People assume my skin color dictates my political beliefs. This mindset is as racist as the KKK. I challenge those who judge me based on my race, questioning how they determine my values. I refuse to label them as racist, unlike leftists. I find hope in those like me who stand up against such prejudices. The left's influence on black America troubles me.

I am a black conservative who defies stereotypes. I drive a lifted truck, know my father, live by the water, and have never faced job interview discrimination. I don't own a pit bull, wear a belt to avoid sagging pants, and have never fit any description. Despite being called names and mistaken for other black conservatives, I don't play basketball. My white manager doesn't make me uncomfortable around white people.

I've never personally experienced racism, but it significantly impacts the criminal justice system, influencing stops, arrests, prosecutions, and sentencing. This makes it easy to ignore, especially without diversity among colleagues. Race is a daily presence in courtrooms, notably in criminal cases but also in civil cases. Diversity is crucial everywhere, but it's especially vital in the judiciary. President Obama prioritized racial diversity on the bench, unlike President Trump. I hope President Biden will prioritize racial diversity as well. Without diversity of thought, the courts can't function correctly. Our role is to protect the minority while upholding the Constitution, and without diversity we risk perpetuating the rule of middle-class white men.

It's tough always having to prove yourself multiple times. Despite being told not to talk about race, I will. Being black comes with challenges, but I see greatness in this city with many African American leaders. I appreciate the sacrifices made to be in these positions. Chief Meadows, thank you for your leadership and for recognizing the extra hurdles you've faced to serve.

I used to hate white people due to older generations instilling distrust in me. Media reinforced this narrative, creating a victim mentality. Growing up in a predominantly black neighborhood, I rarely encountered white people, but still felt hostility towards them.

How many of you used to vote Democrat? And how many have always voted Republican? We have a great mix here. I grew up as a Democrat but, after studying the issues, I realized I was actually a conservative. It's important to me, as a Black man, to have the freedom to choose how I vote. I find it racist when society dictates my political beliefs. Over the years, I've learned to think for myself and have come to appreciate conservative policies, which is why I am where I am today.

Speaker 0: Hi, Michiganders, specifically Detroiters. Do you guys care that Charlie Kirk has passed away? Yeah. I didn't think so because my district is primarily black people, and Charlie Kirk said awful things about black people. So, no, I think my district will like me because I advocate for them as a white person. So

I live in Aledo, Texas, the whitest part of the state. There's hardly any diversity here, but I've experienced zero racism. We moved here for the good schools and small-town feel. Despite the lack of black people, I've never felt unwelcome. People in the neighborhood are friendly, offering me water on walks and complimenting my daughter. I've never encountered racism here.

I have written extensively as a law professor and spent 4 years as a full professor at the University of Pennsylvania. I had the honor of meeting Nelson Mandela and even got arrested while trying to see him on Robins Island. I joked about it, but I come from a coal mining background in Scranton, Pennsylvania. I may have become president if I hadn't lied about having family in the coal mines. My dad was a salesperson, not a coal miner, but my great grandpa was. I used to drive a tractor trailer, so I know about driving big trucks. Corn Pop was a tough guy, and I stand by my word. There have been accusations of lying about marching in the civil rights movement, but I want to clarify that I attended Delaware State University and have connections to the Puerto Rican community. I have made mistakes in the past and will likely make more in the future.

Black people sold each other, not just white people. Slavery existed worldwide, not just in the US. Discrimination is human nature, not just based on race. As long as you're a competition, you're a threat. Adding value will make you appreciated, regardless of race.

I'm sick and tired of this racially divided body, full of people afraid of losing their advancement. Desperation deserves mercy. Can we get along and ensure black and brown babies don't die, and cops don't kill before people are proven innocent? This body crucifies people first because of allegations, but people are innocent until proven guilty. Your votes here sometimes are racist and hurt my people. I am here to represent every single black woman and man in the community. I am not afraid to not have political affiliations. I fear no man but my Lord. I came here to serve, love, and grow. The racial equity thing is fake, and you hurt each other with politics. I'm a five-foot-tall African woman from the projects, and if the voters don't vote me back, so be it.

I identify as American, not African American. I believe in promoting freedom and equality, which is how I got elected. I didn't rely on race or privilege. I grew up in Overland, Saint Louis County, in a non-privileged family after my father passed when I was 12.

I was involved in the civil rights movement as a teenager, but not as an activist. Joe Biden made hurtful comments about racial jungle and opposed bussing. I confronted him in debates, but now we seem friendly. Not everyone criticized him like I did.

I was working as a Capitol Police officer when a woman in a pink MAGA shirt singled me out, yelling that I voted for Joe Biden and used a racial slur. The surrounding crowd of about 20 people joined in, yelling slurs at me. It was the first time I had ever been called that word while wearing my Capitol Police uniform.
