<v Speaker 1>of the police. You can find resources all over the

0:02:02.320 --> 0:02:06.600
<v Speaker 1>internet to educate yourself to understand listen to what black

0:02:06.640 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>people are saying. There's nothing wrong with realizing that you

0:02:12.120 --> 0:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>were wrong or you thought about something in a way

0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:18.560
<v Speaker 1>that that might not have been the right way to

0:02:18.600 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 1>think of things. So just understand that you can be

0:02:21.240 --> 0:02:23.200
<v Speaker 1>wrong and it's okay as long as you learn from

0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:26.200
<v Speaker 1>it and you do the work. I also like that

0:02:26.240 --> 0:02:28.280
<v Speaker 1>what you were saying we were talking about earlier, just

0:02:28.360 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 1>let it begin with me. You were saying, you know,

0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:34.440
<v Speaker 1>if you if you maybe have been around family members

0:02:34.560 --> 0:02:37.960
<v Speaker 1>and you hear them say, you know, say things to

0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.639
<v Speaker 1>actually speak up and tell people not to speak like that.

0:02:42.400 --> 0:02:45.440
<v Speaker 1>Just things like that that you can just just in

0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.959
<v Speaker 1>your own like start your own hula hoop. That's what's

0:02:49.000 --> 0:02:51.080
<v Speaker 1>the thing you can start with. Yes, it starts in

0:02:51.120 --> 0:02:53.680
<v Speaker 1>your homes and it starts in your community. So you

0:02:53.680 --> 0:02:56.160
<v Speaker 1>need to speak up. If people are saying anything racist,

0:02:56.520 --> 0:02:58.280
<v Speaker 1>you need to point it out and need to explain

0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:04.079
<v Speaker 1>why it's damaging. And yeah, just pointed out. And you

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.640
<v Speaker 1>might think, I'm just me. What difference is one person

0:03:06.680 --> 0:03:08.799
<v Speaker 1>going to make, But it actually does make a difference

0:03:08.840 --> 0:03:11.919
<v Speaker 1>because it starts small and it grows. We care about

0:03:11.919 --> 0:03:14.160
<v Speaker 1>all of you, and there is still a pandemic out there,

0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.760
<v Speaker 1>and truly this podcast it sounds corny, but it got

0:03:17.800 --> 0:03:20.880
<v Speaker 1>me through my own personal hardest times in my life.

0:03:20.880 --> 0:03:22.720
<v Speaker 1>And we really all of you. We care about all

0:03:22.720 --> 0:03:25.200

<v Speaker 1>adore all of you. It's the most warm I truly

0:03:46.520 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 1>believe it's the most warm hearted crowd of people I've

0:03:49.160 --> 0:03:52.640
<v Speaker 1>ever been a part of. So um um, I just

0:03:52.680 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 1>wish all of you well and will be back. And
