this right here the unity that we need
right here is to take care of our human
to animal cells so we can't take care of
the other animals that are on this
planet you worry about how they being
treated how about what the [ __ ] we've
been treating good let me see if you
understand well I feel I've got to walk
around on eggshells I don't get killed
for being me do you understand that
there's major oppression having to all
cultures but those who have benefited
from the oppression for all this [ __ ]
time I'm mad I stay the rage because I
see how you don't [ __ ] care you like
to go on Facebook people let her go on
Facebook to be a keyboard a ninja when
it comes face-to-face that's why I'm out
here Malcolm X was out here for this
reason a lot of the street preachers
back in the 60s and civil rights were
out cuz you know that you need to
actually get mad you can't just sit
there and hope people get it you got to
make them get it you got to say hey this
is some [ __ ] we need to take her
ourselves way better and I'm not mad at
you for what you're doing but I see the
rhythm the consistency of dealing with
other animals and things we're not
dealing with ourselves is that too
daunting is that too daunting to stand
out for people I'm done told me to talk
the way we see it is they're all
oppressions interconnected right and
just because you know we do bad things
to humans doesn't mean we should treat
animals with disrespect now humor me for
a second now if you raised every child
in this planet right every child it was
not born in this planet and you said
that life of that chicken should be
granted with respect and they should be
allowed to live that life and you said
that that fish in the ocean who will
never meet should be allowed to live the
life they want to live in the ocean
without human oppression or exploitation
the duty that child would ever grow up
to a present of a human if they follow
all species or all beings regardless of
how they looked or if they had feathers
or scales or wings or whatever form they
took you know I think that child would
learn to respect all life including
indeed our own if he taught them to
every species should be allowed to live
that life now what you say is completely
true and we're not ever gonna tell you
the way you're saying isn't true because
it's valid to the very core and your
anger I think is beautiful because you
stand up and you care but that doesn't
mean that we don't care about your
oppression too just because we're here
standing up for the animal
they are violence to when they suffer as
well and the way we see it is that the
root of all oppression and all evil is
the idea that some lives matter more
than others thank you absolutely and
that's the root of all evil so we can
tackle Eve on every level which includes
evil to animals as well that's how we
can create true peace inequality because
while as violence down plates we will
always have violence on the streets as
well okay now I completely agree with
you I really do and my stance and
opinion my protest my anger
mine is don't come from we all aren't
equal like I pray every time and thank
the animal and the farmers that have
helped me sustain myself when I eat
because I know everything that goes into
it from the guys to get there from the
work of the farmers from the actually
the live of these delicious animals so I
get that but what I don't see and what
I'm actually pressing for it is the same
type of gathering for human beings for
us to stand up just as much as you're
standing up for the animals and human
beings I think the same thing you think
we teach children that the proper way to
treat each other mindful and with
respect they will respect this planet
things will go in a way that is very
much in in unison in harmony so you're
correct about what every oppression on
all levels but we really have a big big
big big big big big big problem here
with the human relation especially
because of race
I agree insects I agree may be treated
horribly to people of color in this
country one horde migrant and I cannot
not say what I have to say because I'm
tired of it I'm tired of because I'm
always on the verge of tears I'm tired
being scared I'm tired of being thought
that I'm something that I'm not yeah I'm
tired of being without God I'm tired of
being ignored right I'm tired of being
marginalized and we agreed you
in this situation right just so we can
hear you there's over 70 billion animals
every year who are in this situation
there's 7 billion there's about someone
to leave humans we are that's a larger
group and I believe that when you are
consuming that energy that negativity
that's what feels you to be
disrespectful and hateful to other
humans and that's what we're here we all
support all love and also compassion for
all humans but how do we begin to like
make everything better that content to
everyone we have to start by how we feel
ourselves if you feel yourself with
positivity good energy and love and
compassion you will have nothing else
but to put out love and compassion just
respect for everyone but if you are
consuming that negative energy you won't
have the energy to expel love to others
and that's what we are here to say you
know you're completely correct I agree I
agree with you hundred percent because
you are what you eat you are you taking
what you think who your around your
friends your family anything that you
are gives your community is you I agree
completely I hope you don't think that
I'm being negative because I'm just
angry about a whole situation a whole
ideal that needs to be destroyed and the
peacefulness didn't really work people
just say whatever now everything's
coming back up because of you have one
icon that decides to say whatever so
people are now starting to show their
true colors that means it didn't go away
I understand what you're concerned with
and I know what I'm concerned with
because peace love happiness
companionship understanding and
compassion are my ideals but at the same
time I see I'm a street performer in
Portland I'm mostly saying I just
started actually releasing this emotion
recently people ever when I step in
fetched give me a good old
but when I tell the truth they're like
[ __ ] that we want you to step it fish we
want you to sing advance me I'm not
supposed to have any type of a pig in in
the streets cuz it's not a presentation
like at the club like Chris Rock or cat
Williams or Dave Chappelle it's not
funny either because this is real what
you're doing is real and I'm not telling
you to stop I'm just trying to say
include everything like everything I've
been past a lot it seems like it's a
consistent trend just shake it up let's
see it all that's all I'm saying
and what I got angry at is the truth of
being angry because each love compassion
is not being shown towards me I'm not
trying to consume that hate it is all
this on the plate for me to get I have
to dip myself I grew up in Portland I
grew up here in Westland actually Lake
Oswego imagine that like a little black
boy in the business I was told I was
different by then not my parents I found
out something was wrong with me by my
classmates and I have to carry that with
me and still have compassion for my
fellow man I do I do
I forgive coz if I can't forgive you
then I don't deserve forgiveness but man
people need to see that it all starts
not just how we treat the animals and
the plants is how we treat ourselves and
how you treat yourself yourself how you
get up in the morning what you think you
deserve because if you wake up and you
say I'm better than someone else it
really works and that's all I want I
just want us to unite as a world so I
don't have to be angry anymore so I
don't have to be scared so I don't have
to worry about anybody anymore so we
can't have that little capacity but my
fuel comes from stop this [ __ ] right the
[ __ ] now theory but so does ours as well
and just because we're here doing this
one day doesn't mean that we don't
support other groups as well and we
don't spot over moments as well this is
one thing that we do want evening once a
week right but then we've got six seven
days of the week when we could be doing
other things
nonetheless and everyone does do that
but we can fight and care about more
than one issue at a time and as we said
before all the pressures interconnected
and you just mentioned then about
feeling different and you mentioned then
about valuing some life over others and
this is the root of all evil like
but we do not agree them then when you
buy these products are you concern
animal to die for you in whatever form
your viewing of a life has been
different and you're viewing them has
been beneath you I guess my question is
what justification do you have to hurt
these animals even though you yourself
are in a situation where you know you
fear for your life or you have times
where you fear for your life how does
that justify you paying for others to
die for you well I recently became a
vegetarian because I felt exactly what
you said I don't know this animal I'm
not raising example I don't know where
they're coming from and I respect it as
an entity before that I was just being
thankful when I was being fed but
another reason is that made me has
actually nothing to do with there is
metric if you like for animals it has to
do with the things that are going in our
foods that are they going in us and I'm
like wait I don't know what this shit's
coming from I don't want whatever it is
that they're politically
and you were correct idiot pressure
towards any speech you use any animal or
whatever it all is interconnected and
I'm not trying to tell you to not do
your protest I'm just saying it the
inclusiveness and you guys all have
cameras you guys all have unique numbers
take this with you yeah and give that to
other people who are tired oh not only
your cause is but are the same one is
mine yeah that's all I'm like let's
unify it on a completely inclusive I
guess change okay I hold up hi I agree
pew I do and you know about the how how
humans are treated in these industries
as well on how these industries target
people of color they target immigrants
the target working-class people to work
in these slaughterhouses where they have
higher rates of suicide depression PTSD
in drug and I'll give you drug and
alcohol abuse even more than the
military you know they target
individuals in poorer countries when
they do shrimp farm or the forced into
slave labor so that you know even within
these industries where you press animals
is this human oppression is well this
applies in the dairy and egg industries
and indeed where there's animal
exploitation there'll always be human
exploitation so we can just cut the root
source the problem did you do you feel
like the root is with the animal I feel
this for me speciesism this is where the
first forms of discrimination that we
teach because we teach children soon as
they're born there's some animals are
here for eating and some animals are
here for loving but if you taught every
child like I said before as soon as
they're born to value all life by the
time they get into school will they
start to talk to view someone
differently because the color of the
schema because of the genitalia or
secretary identity that they you know
they value upon themselves by that point
they've already lurked discriminate
against animals and view animals is
differently so if we taught them for the
moment that they're born the whole life
regardless of sexuality gender ethnicity
whatever it is of species is equal in
the basic respect they should be able to
live that life that's how we would solve
all of this inequality because how could
we live in a world with its famine or
hunger or racism or violence if we were
taught that the life of every animal no
matter how small insignificant they
seemed should just be respect and
allowed to live well I walk by something
say
you're gonna go back over there and talk
yeah I don't want to ever be singing
this [ __ ] just build up to this like wow
you know so now because the thing is you
to give me that not add that to my life
and what I'm saying deprive that's
beautiful
we learn from each other don't we that's
one of you singing
