So What Had Happened Was

By: Primary Gazi Kodzo

(Before I start any juicy story I always begin with that line. It feels like the ghetto adjuration of honesty)

This article will reach ii things. First, requite y'all a behind the scenes play by play of what happened. Secondly, give a summation of the reaction that I received from the people.

A few weeks ago, I went on The Jesse Peterson Show. Jesse Peterson is a vile neocolonial sellout that has received his claim to fame past relentlessly making unprincipled attacks on African and other colonized people. All while clamping his lips to the ass of white nationalist direct cis males.

Jesse is a Blackness man in his lxx's with a career based on being an online troll. Like Kanye West, he believes he is doing something then much greater, unique, and radical than whatsoever other Black person. Instead of acknowledging that oppressed people must take an oppressor, they are ignoring that material fact and property onto the metaphysical belief that we, Blackness people, are oppressing ourselves. Also, he believes that nosotros are in this state of affairs because we just ain't existence 'proper humans'. When I say 'proper humans' I hateful white people. We are not existence equally 'white' as we can be therefore we are faced with the vast contradictions of colonialism. However, this is non how oppression works.

White people live a life better than African and other colonized people considering white people alive at the expense of African and colonized people. No matter how many degrees we have, how much money we save, how we dress, how eloquently we talk, or even if nosotros go better Christians than white folks, we volition nevertheless be the host and they will ever be the parasite. The Haitians, The Chinese, The Cubans, and etc. did not claim their liberation through becoming better white people, but from tearing the parasite of white people off of their backs!

Jesse Lee Peterson is neither nuanced or groundbreaking. He loves to talk about the Africans that sold other Africans into slavery. Well yes, a minority of Africans were sellouts. Jesse Lee Peterson is a mod-mean solar day continuation of that sellout traitor.

So why did I make up one's mind to practise the interview?

Well, I was originally asked to be on this tired ass bear witness in 2017. I went to practice the show, but one of his producers referred to me by my colonial name every bit a joke. Then, I got my stuff and did not do the interview. Ever since they have been requesting me to do the interview. Actually, they were begging.

Recently, I decided to go forwards with doing the bear witness because what I am witnessing right now is the fierce recruitment of Africans to join the Republican Party. What we accept to understand though is that it is working because the Democratic Political party is nothing just the liberal sector of the white ruling class. What Africans also need to realize is that the Republicans are nothing merely a conservative sector of the white ruling class. Their shit doesn't smell or taste any ameliorate.

Another reason that I went forward with the evidence was to defend my African and Colonized people. We are shown love and defended sorarely. I don't hateful 'love' in the context of this "Black Excellence" crap that insinuates that you should simply love Black people when nosotros receive a college caste, ain a business organisation, or is a domestic dog of the land. I mean loving Blackness folks who arepoor andworking-class; those of us who are spat on and told that nosotros will never accomplish or be anything: We who are given shit just for wanting to dance or have our own fashion and nosotros who create all the wealth in the earth only are told nosotros ain't nothing simply broke own't shit bitches and niggas.

When my Black Hammer Comrades and I first met, we had decided that it was going to be a full have over and that we weren't gonna attempt to portray dignified dialogue. We saw that the Jesse Lee Peterson brand and team were zip but ruthless slanderous thugs that continuously attack any meaningful political motion and protect the status quo. They do so in a mode that demeans the political fight that the show'due south guests represent.

Await, I'm here doing what I am doing because my people are dying. My people are beingness shot, beaten, and tortured to death. Any way that you can think of how a person can be killed is how Capitalism is killing African people. I do this for the mothers that lose their children to police violence. I practise this for the children that are starving on the continent. I do this for the Gender and Not-Befitting Africans in Jamaica that are beaten to expiry and attack fire. I do this for the political soldiers that accept been in jail for longer than I have lived. It is that level of pain, of violence and destruction of humanity that I can't permit this to continue because some geriatric's Youtube video that is edited to portray genocide as a imitation narrative.

So instead, I went there with a handful of my comrades and nosotros united that I was going to expose him until he couldn't take anymore. I was going to hit him with the hypocrisy of his own life and forcefulness him to face information technology. If your personal life is not a representation of your political beliefs that you voice so much, then you, merely similar your beliefs, are nonsense.

His squad was giving me shit the whole time. They were telling me that their team was scared and hoped that I would "behave myself". I was like "WTF, I am a 5'6 skinny as all hell flamboyant homosexual what are these nimrods afraid of?" I responded that my comrades and I will act in the way that the environment requires.

Once we arrived, they had us wait for 30 minutes. It seemed as if they were calling in every guy they knew to come up to give Jesse some sense of security. And so once he had about 11 dweebs to my three cadres, it was then that Jesse felt correct to come on out and confront u.s..

When I arrived at the stage, he tried to offer me his hand to shake. I did non shake his mitt and told him to sit downwards and let's become this started. I couldn't bring myself to shake hands with some vile creature that attacks my people constantly and ruthlessly.

Before the interview, I studied Jesse similar crazy. I read and watched everything I could notice on him, and then I already knew how his interview was going to exist gear up. Before he could brainstorm speaking, I listed all of the questions that he was going to enquire me and I gave my responses to them. This made him furious. I hateful what kind of interviewer asks the same verbal questions for every interview?

Then he asked me virtually my childhood and upbringing. I already knew where this was going. This was where he would begin to attack my parents and notice fault in my upbringing . I was not going to let this tactic at all, and so I flipped the script and asked him straight upwardly, "What about your parents?"

He always claims that Blackness men are weak considering they are raised past unmarried Black mothers who are aroused and, therefore, raise aroused and weak sons. How fucked upward and repulsive of a statement. The Black family was ripped apart due to the FBI'due south creation of a drug economy and the mass incarceration of Black men. This left many Black families fatherless. Side by side, through harsh capitalist economic atmospheric condition making it impossible for Black women to hold upwardly the family on their ain. Poor and oppressed people take a correct to feel their very valid emotions that are a direct result of the parasitic system at work destroying their lives. It is cowardly to attack the victim and their valid hurting while ignoring the perpetrators who take caused the hurting in the first place.

That is why I forced Jesse to face his own upbringing; how his father and mother both did not want him and left him in Alabama, a lynching country, with his grandmother. His Black mother went and started a whole new family in Chicago. She didn't even send for Jesse until she realized that she could collect a welfare check for him. Jesse's contempt and constant attacks on Black women are a directly projection of his acrimony at his own Black mama. Allegedly…

Jesse Lee Peterson started a foundation for Black men that functions via promises to rebuild the Blackness man to be a meliorate married man and father. Jesse Lee Peterson has never been a husband or begetter. He is in his lxx'south and hasn't been able to find a unmarried adult female brainwashed enough by the patriarchy to consider him a catch and want to ally him. He has a son merely was a deadbeat father. His son hated him so much that at the historic period of 18, the first thing he did was alter his last proper noun. Is this a man that should be telling any homo how to be a husband and father? Allegedly…

Jesse Lee Peterson says that nosotros are in a fallen state considering nosotros have fallen from his idea of Christianity. Notwithstanding, the Bible states that "a human being that does not provide for his family is worse than a non-believer in the eyes of God". one Timothy five:8

He says that Black women are moochers who leech and take from the regime. However, statistically white people are the largest benefactors of government aid,not Black people. In farther hypocrisy, Jesse's studio is funded by government grants as a not-profit business organization. He is using government coin to fund his capitalist narcissistic attempt of acclaiming fame. All of this is in the name of "saving" the Black homo and Black manhood. Allegedly…

Jesse Lee Peterson is a joke and a clown. His ain white fans call in and telephone call him "nigger" and express joy at him. His books are all horrific flops, which ways that none of his white viewers take him seriously. To them, he'due south just a well-trained giddy monkey.

After exposing these things, Jesse wanted me out of at that place immediately. He wanted me out of there and then bad that he even called the police on me. I uploaded the video of me roasting his ass and it went viral and I consider that mission accomplished.

I volition now address some of the commentaries on this video. The amount of homophobia, feme-phobia, and transphobia I was subjected to past my ain people was hurtful. Information technology hurts because I love my African people. I beloved African people more than I honey air itself. I love African people more than I love my mama. I gave everything up so I could fight for African people and i will continue to exercise and so. It is because I know that, when you prepare your mouth to set on my sexuality or gender expression, those are the strings of white power puppeteering you to keep us divided.

There isn't a single dubiety in my mind that if it wasn't for colonialism, the special oppression of African women and Gender and Sexuality Not-Befitting Africans would not exist in our African community.

My people are a proficient people. My African people are a fucking proficient people. I don't say that with rose-colored glasses on at all. I say that as a fiddling Blackness gay boy that was picked on all my life past Blackness people. I was even picked on verbally and physically by adults. I was tortured by teachers, adult family members, and even adult strangers. I can't bring myself to hate the puppet considering I am hither to destroy the puppet master. No matter how much information technology hurt I had to become bigger than my hurt to solve the problems of the revolution.

I do worry near what horizontal violence does to our youths. I would like to dedicate this article to Nigel Shelby, who committed suicide at fifteen years old. Residue in Power Lil brotha.
