Good evening everybody. Here's the day
the Lord has made we rejoice and
We are glad in it
I'm appreciative for all of you. What a line on tonight and I want to have a very
compelling conversation
That I believe that sorely needed. I
am desperately appropriate in the hour in which we live just
This week
group mobilized in Washington DC on Saturday
to relaunch and to mount
the Poor People's Campaign
Poor People's Campaign was initiated by Martin Luther King jr. In the year that he was assassinated
Dr. King was of the mind. He was of the conviction that
After civil rights, they had to be silver rights
He argued aloud. Dr. King did that. What is the point?
What is the point of us integrating a lunch counter if you don't have money for hand Parker?
there's a great level of
Economic inequity that is facing our community
That I believe is woefully unaddressed
and grossly ignored
the reality is
That most African American families per capita are worth less now
Than the year that dr. King was killed in 1968. She
Shared you to know that we have less home ownership now
Than we did in 1968. It should blow your mind that we have absolutely less
black owned businesses now
Than we did in
1968 there is in fact a
Financial conspiracy aimed at the heads and the wallets of black people and somehow we keep ducking
But the banking industry just keep shooting
I
Was so convicted by the knowledge and the information about where it is that we are
that I literally
Confessed to my church that the church has done a disservice to the black community
Because for far too long, the only time we ever talk about money is when we talking about tithing
we ask people to give their 10% but never challenge people on how do you grow your
90%
When I started my church
in 2000, I
Asked everybody who was in the church 43 people. I asked all of them who were in fact
renters to raise their hand and
I said to them on the first day of our church gathering that you are in the exact same place as our church
because we have no credit have no financial history and
Challenged them when it is that we started that
by the time the church moved into a building I
Wanted all 43 to be moving in the homes
Because if in fact we quote that the oil starts at the head and floats down to the skirts of the road
then that same oil that's on the church has got to go into the parishioners as a consequence all
43 of my founding members
became homeowners because I believed in their principle and
Believed that that is a model that has to be replicated. I
am in the calm
in in the middle of
negotiating with the city
to secure a
hundred abandoned homes in the city of Baltimore a
hundred abandoned homes in the city of Baltimore
and what it is that we are endeavoring to do I want to take this model and
Replicate it all over the country
all
different levels of this financial strength
Has got to be pointed back to our community so that we can reverse and stem the tide of
Gentrification that is emptying out
African-americans from inner cities while Caucasians are swooping back in
Buying the property for dirt cheap that our grandparents spend their entire
lives to get and now we have nothing to show for it and
So what we're endeavoring to do in these 100 homes
Is number one. I want the 100 homes
to be
Revamped and remodeled from returning citizens or from ex-offenders
Those who?
Really need to be licensed and trained and certified
From engineering to plumbing to HVAC. I want all 100 homes
to be processed through a
Black-owned title company, I want all 100 homes
to be financed through black banks
I want all 100 homes here me to be decorated from black owned furniture companies
I want all 100 homes those who move in them to use a black moving company
Because if in fact we are not serious about circulating our wealth
then we will not in fact see where it is that God is taking us I
got a guess this coming in in a moment is he's gonna be talking about
some steps that all of us can take
But there are a couple of things that I want to share with you in the interim
I don't know whether you realize it or not
but they're
in the Asian community
the dollars circulates in Asian community
17 times before it leaves in the Jewish community 12 times in the Caucasian community
11 times
but in the african-american community
Your check is only in your hands for 30 minutes before you turn your money
Over into the hands of somebody whose melanin does not match yours
What are we sincerely doing about economic development?
When dr. King was killed he was in the midst of a demonstration
Marching with sanitation workers so that they could in fact have not a minimum wage
But a livable wage in most major cities
Entry-level teachers are making less money
Than garbage collectors. Did you hear what I just said?
Entry-level teachers make less money than garbage collectors
Yet we're not doing anything not saying anything
In our community, it has become ripe for check cashing stations to be able to hunker down
Watch this in the exact same place
where bank branches used to be
these check cashing places are owned by banks like Wells Fargo who are charging a
premium interest that is illegal for a bank to do as
A consequence they come under different veil on their different tent they don't do business with you
They just drop an ATM
Because they're not looking to you for you to bank. They're just looking for you to withdraw and they realize that
If in fact they can make money off your money
Then they've won every way around
This entire summer I have dedicated
To trying to empower and equip the congregants
Who are connected to empowerment temple and those of you who are part of my empowerment family?
There's several different conduits
As to how it is that they can be strengthened. This is how committed I am I
Bible study on Tuesday night have shrink-wrapped to just 15 minutes. I'm teaching a solid 15
minutes on
responsible
Financial responsibility I feel for the summer is getting out of the red
ridiculous
Economic decisions. That's the red
ridiculous
economic decisions those of you who have ever made a
Ridiculous economic decision. I want you to press give me a thumbs-up a clamp something if you've made a horrible
economic decision in your time and in your life
I want you to please press those hearts girls thumbs and all the more I need you right now
to share this with every person that you know, I need you to share it right at the bottom, you know, it is
Necessary for you to do but I want you to share it share it expressly with people in your family. Who are
perpetually in a cycle of debt
Share it with loved ones who in fact find themselves always looking for a handout and can't pull themselves up
Share it with young people who in fact believe that there are other alternatives and options
outside of how your education where they can still be able to thrive and
Entrepreneurship and become captains of industry in their own lane
Tuesday nights, this is what we're doing at our church
And I'm telling you Jeremiah Wright said it's all right to be a copycat if you know which cat to copy
Let me tell you what we're doing on Tuesday nights
On Tuesday nights. We're busting at the seams
Because I have brought in a group who flies in every week from Houston, Texas
They fly watch this on their own dime on
Their own accord because they first told me about it and I said it is of no consequence if you cannot reach the base level
They come every Tuesday night
teaching young adults how to do trading
Alfred I'm waiting on you to come in and join me, I don't know where you are. You got to be a part of this
Is that they've got to get it a part of it because my contingent was if I get these young men off the street
Who used to deal drugs who used to hustle who've been in and out of the system?
Yes, I get them saved. I can give them player
but if they used to making real stacks of money grab in the bag
I can't convince them go put on a McDonald's uniform and
So they're learning how it is that they can trade be a part of a global economic system
Many of you don't even understand that in Africa. There are three different stock exchanges and we do nothing
Do you not know that every Jew in America?
that's worth their salt aim is to buy some property and to do some investment in Israel and
for us we just put on a strip of kenta cloth that was produced in Tokyo and Vietnam and
Have no sense of how do I do business with the mother continent?
when in fact they are the lead producers of
petroleum of
Diamonds of rubber of gold of all of the ingredients that is necessary
what's this for them to even make iPhones and
Androids, they can't do it without coming
into
Alpha, let me see. How do I invite you?
I'm trying to figure out how to bring in
Outfit. Yeah, y'all gotta tell me how to get outfit in here
Alfred you sent me the requests and I'll bring you in
And so we've got to figure out a way I am doing a conference
In August, I'll give you the dates later on on the
African African American business connect how we can do business with each other?
so on Tuesday nights
I've got rooms full of people learning how to trade how to do business so that they no longer have to be on the street
But they can in fact use this on their phone one two
three o'clock in the morning because the markets in Singapore the Marx markets in the Middle East the markets in Japan are up and
Thriving and I want our people to be at the table in our main sanctuary of teaching financial
literacy
how to do saving how to do investing how to do a retirement portfolio how to set up insurance
how to in fact set up a we'll
Send me a video invite requests. I don't know how to do it outfit
You left out there. Somebody tell me how to invite outfit in here because I need him to be a part of this conversation
Yeah, I don't see you in here, let me see how to bring outfit in nope getting how to do it either
Outfit I'm coming to get you alright
Then the other financial literacy then we do a third class on how to get access to capital for entrepreneurs
how to get access to capital for entrepreneurs
How to promote your business we show you how to do a demographic study then walk you into the back
So that you'll know how it is that you can secure a loan because something is awry
Something is rotten in Denmark
When it is that you can get loans for a used car, but can't get a loan in order to start a business
my dear friends I
Made a pledge to my congregation and to my family
And to those who are connected to me that we've got to do something for our people the Bible gave us clear
instructions and a clear indication our people died
from a lack of knowledge
more people that died from a lack of knowledge
Than aggressive policing than the opiate crisis then cancer and HIV combined
People are dying because they do not have access to the information that I want for you to have
African-american brother in
Florida brother Alfred Nixon he's on I was trying to pull him in tonight
I can't figure out what to do in order to do and somebody got to give me on-the-job training
but he came to me and said brother I heard about what it is that you're doing and
I want to help your members come out of the red
So I had my team investigated check out what it is that he was doing
first of all
I was excited that African American was doing this all the more that the brother who was doing this is over 30
just started this
Under two years ago with a credit score of 500 and now has a credit score of over
730 I
Said brother. I need you to come on. I need you to come talk to my people
Because there is no sick says if you don't have a successor and so we got to set up other people
To do the same thing and so alpha was endeavoring today. I
To come on and talk about several things. He's got a program
Put in place. What's this to help you? Wipe out all of your student loans?
Because a student loan will stay on your credit watch this even if you file bankruptcy
Did you hear what I just said a student loan will stay on your credit
Even if you file bankruptcy
Has a program what's this?
When it is that you're trying to litigate and negotiate with those who in fact have a mark on your credit
This young brother outfit Nixon. He's on there right now
Has it I keep telling them to send me the invite. He won't send me to invite
I will send me to invite and I'm gonna let you in. I need you to send me to invite
when I
He also gives what says in this program that you can
Get a credit attorney who will fight the legalities that you dealing with whether that's your lien whether it's the IRS
Some indiscretion that happened in your youth they can do that
They'll work with African Americans
Work with my Hispanic and Latino brothers and sisters watch this so that they will help fight garnished wages
I don't know whether you realize this or not, but they fight to garnish wages
watch this for people more prone who make less than
$50,000 a year
Than those who make more than fifty thousand a year and it goes back to the old axiom
that the poor get poorer and the rich get richer I
Want every single person to learn what it is that this young man has taught me. I want you to have it
I need you to enroll in it because he's found a way that you can use your rental history
To help beef up your credit even if you ain't a homeowner
This brother has found out
how to beat the system
How to beat the system and I want you to be a part of it listen to me
I don't want to give out his number since I can't get it on I
Don't want to give out his number. So this is what I want you to do
I want you to text him if you want this information

I repent for these churches who have given you a false bill of goods
That it said said for you to be debt-free

But in the interim you got to learn sweat equity
delayed gratification

Who died because they never got the knowledge. I?
Want you to please write that number down. I want you to text that number for one on nine

I'm short-handed
And I can't do all this by myself. So I need some other people that can help me and I said, bro
