Kanye West : "WE ARE NOT BLACK!"

Uncover the layers of Black identity in America with the insightful Sharif Bate, as we examine Kanye West's poignant comments and their ripple effects across societal perceptions. Step into a world where the term "black" is dissected to reveal a backdrop of denationalization and a distorted historical narrative stretching back to 1774.

Our conversation with Sharif Bey transitions into a compelling discussion about the interplay between sociology, nationality, and identity. Discover how these elements shape our societal interactions and the political landscape that governs us. We navigate through the origins of American racist thought, peel back the layers of historical conflict, and challenge the derogatory labels that have long stripped individuals of their true identities. Language and etymology become the guiding lights in this exploration, helping us decode the societal constructs that bind us.

Sharif Bey leads us down the path of introspection and character transformation. Unveil the hidden connections between names, personal behavior, and how societal views are influenced by the identities we embrace. We reflect on the allure of messianic figures and the cultural pitfalls of ascribing savior-like qualities to influential personalities. Through the sage teachings of Prophet Noble Drew Ali, we're reminded of the profound wisdom of our forefathers and the importance of inner reflection in our quest to understand the divine within us and the world around us. #newyorkcity #podcast #law #consciousness #politics
