In the clip, Grand Master Jay is asked about what he sees as a “solution” after he describes “a new black nation.”
Jay’s reply is “The solution is very simple. We follow the declaration of liberation, declaring every African American descendent of slavery a political prisoner here in the United States who were affected by the Portuguese slave trade and then after that the United States has a choice either carve us a piece of land out here, we will take Texas, and let us do our own thing or don’t stop us when we exit this body here and go somewhere where they will give us our own land to build our own nation.” Jay later adds “We don’t want to talk no more, we don’t want to negotiate. We don’t want to sing songs, we don’t bring signs to a gunfight. We’re an eye for an eye organization. So when they decide to act right, we’ll act right. And we do it all legally.”
Let's unpack that.
Grand Master Jay
Nice rap name, Jay.
We follow the declaration of liberation...
Independence? Or do they have their own 'declaration' that he's referring to?
...the United States has a choice either carve us a piece of land out here, we will take Texas, and let us do our own thing or don’t stop us when we exit this body here and go somewhere where they will give us our own land to build our own nation.”
Option 1: Arkansas or Alabama.
Option 2: Take Texas? Good luck with getting anything more than Austin.
Option 3: We already did that. It's called Liberia, you uneducated jackass. I'll start a Go Fund Me to send you all there.
