Content

In this episode, we analyze the role that Crip Mac's paranoid schizophrenia has played in creating his constant need to have a gun. We also discuss the prison-industrial complex and Granny Bear's childhood in segregated Houston. 

Also - YES, we will be raising funds for a decent fed lawyer and setting up a protest in LA for his next court date in mid-January. However, China Mac and I are still working out the logistics for a GoFundMe, so that'll be posted shortly.

I guess we’ll see if this hold weight. I think he always wanted to be something he wasn’t. Looks like a 69 type of thing. He went and out himself out there and the homies let him take the fall? Let’s see if he stays true?

Zooming out for historical context for this and the Philly streets series has been such a breath of fresh air when it comes to trying to understand the root causes of an issue. Thanks Andrew

Just as a friendly fyi: COINTELPRO is pronounced CO INTEL PRO as it's an abbreviation for counter intelligence program. Federal agents involved in COINTELPRO participated in condoned clandestine extrajudicial punishment that would be considered state sponsored terrorism nowadays. I swear I'm not a conspiracy theorist, even the FBI admits to the superficial fucked up shit they did: https://vault.fbi.gov/cointel-pro and also the DoJ: https://www.ojp.gov/ncjrs/virtual-library/abstracts/spying-america-fbis-domestic-counter-intelligence-program

it is messed up he had to stay in LA, but at the same time we can't have people with diagnosed mental health problems carrying guns, much less illegal guns.

How come every other ethic group like Chinese who are basically segregated (by choice) with places like Chinatown, even the Irish back in New York, etc...they all have been able to succeed and thrive as a community without the help of other races of people? It seems like the only group who has a hard time helping themselves succeed is the black community. Black people themselves will tell you this. Also, I think the cotton picking must be specifically for prison punishment because basically no one in the US pick cotton by hand and haven't for a long time. It is much more cost effective and efficient to use machinery to do all of the harvesting now. One idea is to maybe dont get gang tattoos all over your face and then carry around illegal firearms.

I think if you paid attention to the Crip Mac story its obvious the gang tattoos were a result of the dangerous inner-city environment perpetuated by the US government.I don't think its fair to put blame on that choice as there were obviously external pressures leading to that decision.

God our system is so fucked. The worst part is that a lot of these prison systems claim to be rehabilitating people when really they’re just setting them up to fail.

ah nah slavery definitely went away after it came to the USA and white people abolished it.

Rebecca White

Real question: Is it normal for prisoners to make a wage? I thought work done by prisoners was supposed to only profit the prison. Why would the inmates be paid for being in jail?

Lame Lade

I think you can argue the prison contractors DO want people to be arrested, and lobby the government for that happen. But I think the suggestion that the ENTIRE SYSTEM is RIGGED to produce slaves? Like... you don't need the extra steps. There's WAY cheaper ways to make license plates without needing enormously expensive legal bureaucracies, judges, lawyers, court houses, all of this stuff COSTS billions and billions in state money. This is a case of leeches being leeches and exploiting a system through corruption, not a State system built specifically to oppress people.

Lame Lade
>>125563279

I think the number one thing the black community doesn't address enough, and the primary reason they struggle more than other minorities, is the destruction of the black family. And that IS a result of slavery. It's not BLACK culture to not know your dad. That's SLAVE culture. And it absolutely demolishes communities. Descending from slaves it turns out is a fundamentally more socially damaging experience than descending from immigrants, even if they were discriminated against.

Miccalo

This is a pretty biased series, maybe you should categorize it as an opinion piece. I only bring it up because, despite agreeing overall, a few of your arguments aren't completely objective. I know you want to help your friend and that creates a desire to have evidence that helps them, a bias every human is subject to. IMO them getting tossed into the horribly-functioning justice system has brought its myriad issues directly into your focus, and you may not have much hope in navigating them. By contrast, many folk get to ignore systemic flaws, or are placated by pretending their complaints online make an impact. I empathize for your struggle, hope the best for him, and will be happy to contribute to the fund you create.

Lame Lade
>>125567441

This is part of why I don't like people pretending the prison system is a slavery system. Slavery absolutely went away. Saying it did not is an insult to both the people who fought and died in the deadliest American war to end slavery, and more importantly to the slaves themselves. Frederick Douglas never threw a ghost gun into a parking garage where kids were playing while he ran from the cops. Harriet Tubman didn't violate her parole carrying a loaded firearm as a convicted felon because she was in a drug gang that fills her community with tranq and fent and crack. This is part of why I don't like people pretending the prison system is slavery, because it's an insult to slaves.

Agreed, i even started thinking that before they said it, "I hope they got him out of LA before locking him down."

Lame Lade
>>125529025

It's very close to being gold, I'd say it's silver. A) It's speculation that MLK/Malcom was killed because of the FBI, there's no hard evidence of that. Although that first gentlemen mentioned absolutely was assassinated by law enforcement. B) The prison system is being exploited by malicious corporate prison contractors. It's not like states/counties are deliberately bloating their legal structure with junk cases so they can make license plates. If they wanted cheap license plates they can order them from Vietnam. It's not "new slavery", that's an insult to slaves. It's a corrupt prison system hijacked by special interests.

I got released from federal prison four years ago after serving 5 years for marijuana. I’ve met several guys who got offered 3-5 years and went to trial. As a result they received 20+ years. Unfortunately Crip Mac has extensive arrest record which puts him at a category 6 and career criminal. Thanks for shining light on these important issues.

They usually make under a dollar per hour. Realistically, it would make sense if inmates could make more so they actually have savings when they get out. Then they might not resort back to a life of crime as soon as they get released.

this one! Really documentation is a form of ethnographic film which is also and allways a reflection about the interest of the documentarian. That is why we like Andrews Docs, because we like him. Objectivity is often an narrative trown arround to judge material based on common reproduced socialtial norms. That you do not agree and see thisngs different and want them differently explored is actally interesting and you should analyze it further(@ Miccalo).

Fantastic journalism of redlining and segregation in a free crip Mac video is impressive and shows how deep these seeds of racism go and how these things are still sadly alive and well in the US.

Dude - I love almost everything you put out, but THIS really struck a cord. Extremely well done, educational, and frankly eye opening. Keep fighting for your friend, I look forward to more of this brand of raw exposure of flawed systems by Channel 5. Thank you for continuing to follow your dream.

Objectivity has one definition, and it is not what you have interpreted it as. You wanted to believe I disagreed despite me explicitly saying I agreed. Wishful thinking is dangerous and affects every human. I hope you can turn what you saw in me inward while enjoying the rest of your life. ✌

I gotta say as a young historian working in the Deep South, I profoundly disagree with the characterization of Jim Crow as moving from the era of outright Klan violence to indifference… the third wave of Klan activity really took off post WW2 and there were hundreds of bombings and murders. Klan violence was persistent, widespread, and ongoing from the end of the civil war AT LEAST up until the 1970s in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, and the Carolinas (and in rural areas, up until today). Lynch mobs were still out of control in the post-reconstruction pre-civil rights era, hence the mass migration of black folks from the south moving to places like california and Minnesota. Emmett Till was beaten and murdered in 1955 (peak Jim Crow era), and he was one of the thousands of people who were lynched between 1900-1964. I know it was just a moment and I don’t mean to nitpick but I don’t think it’s fair at all to characterize the Jim Crow South as “indifferent” and I think there’s broader cultural forces which have been actively trying to erase the history of violence and racial terrorism. It was openly violent and an incredibly dangerous place. Great work on the redlining analysis though and glad you’re exploring the historical continuum of race and mass incarceration.

Shit man them inmates living lavish in California compared to here in Alabama. Ain’t trying to cause no uproar but California atleast makes an attempt to pull the wool over peoples eyes in regards to statutes and laws passed to help with the prisoners well being and are steadily “making attempts” to do so. I’m not saying they work great or make doing time somewhere other than some low grade basically work release program like San Quentin. I know it’s still time for sure. But these mother fuckers here in Alabama haven’t made a step towards change since Reagan first set wheels in motion for the prison industrial complex to REALLLY roll with the drug war. Then Clinton passed mandatory minimums and the 3 strike law with ole Biden right behind him. Which was the icing on the cake that these low brow elitist swine are still eating to this day.

so glad youre back <3 def one of the most important journalists of our generation. keep your nose clean bro, the world needs you haha

It was a quick comment but you mention a lack of violence towards blacks in the mid-late 50s (what granny bear talks about) and I think you should consider removing that statement

While anti-black violence may not have been at an all time peak in that time period, it certainly wasn't gone. Throughout the south there were still lynchings and other violent acts carried out. The Civil rights movement was met with very real physical opposition - just because granny bear didn't experience that doesn't mean it didn't exist. It's admittedly a minor point in context.

insane how much racism has been built into USA since the beginning.

Its wild that right now theres african americans picking cotton on land that was previously a plantation for essentially no pay.

Virginia Hanna

Omg. Granny Mac remembering segregation and sharing has me crying. I paused to write this. Wow. I'd love to hear more stories and memories from her and others in her generation. So important to record.

AmenRa P.

Hey Jim Crow era still had a lot of violence, I think the through line in your videos of American poverty and the ties to racism are an excellent necessary touch. America is sitting on a powder keg with the fundamental embodiment of anti-blackness throughout its many laws and cultural practices. The Channel 5 stuff is very cool to me and I'm happy to support because I feel like the journalism is raw - showing very clearly to those who watch it who is being affected by what, and the scale of it all. The micro turns into the macro so quickly and it is so brilliantly captured through the editing and attitude of Andrew and the team. I hope we get more journalist and journalism like this in the future.

This is eye opening to say the least.
