WEBVTT - How Many War Crimes Does It Take

0:00:11.760 --> 0:00:14.560
<v Speaker 1>Good morning, peeps, and welcome to Woke f Daily with

0:00:14.640 --> 0:00:20.680
<v Speaker 1>Meet your Girl Danielle Moody back recording from the Home Bunker, Folks.

0:00:20.760 --> 0:00:24.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm struggling and when I have moments of struggle. In

0:00:24.400 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 1>times of struggle, I try and offer up that truth

0:00:27.880 --> 0:00:33.000
<v Speaker 1>to all of you. And I'm going to say some

0:00:33.080 --> 0:00:38.840
<v Speaker 1>things on this Woke Wednesday that I find troubling about

0:00:38.880 --> 0:00:42.360
<v Speaker 1>the current moment that we are in. And the purpose

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:46.199
<v Speaker 1>of woke a App is not for people to you know,

0:00:46.400 --> 0:00:49.800
<v Speaker 1>agree with every single thing that I say and feel

0:00:49.840 --> 0:00:52.080
<v Speaker 1>the same exact way that I do. The purpose is

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:56.960
<v Speaker 1>to spark conversation. The purpose is to have us tilt

0:00:57.000 --> 0:00:59.880
<v Speaker 1>our heads and open our eyes and say, huh, I

0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:05.920
<v Speaker 1>never thought about it that way on a variety of issues, right,

0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:13.720
<v Speaker 1>because it's that kind of thinking of understanding that there

0:01:13.760 --> 0:01:18.399
<v Speaker 1>is always more to learn, more to know, and to

0:01:20.880 --> 0:01:26.160
<v Speaker 1>allow ourselves to continue to be students of the world

0:01:26.200 --> 0:01:31.280
<v Speaker 1>that we're living in, to ask questions, to be critical thinkers.

0:01:31.319 --> 0:01:40.360
<v Speaker 1>And so I'm struggling right now with how the protests

0:01:40.400 --> 0:01:46.120
<v Speaker 1>at the universities and colleges are being characterized. I'm struggling

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:50.800
<v Speaker 1>with this current administration and their response to it and

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:56.200
<v Speaker 1>their you know, unwavering support for Israel. I'm struggling right

0:01:56.280 --> 0:02:04.360
<v Speaker 1>now with accusations of anti Semitism, all for the benefit

0:02:04.400 --> 0:02:07.880
<v Speaker 1>of shutting down conversation that is necessary in order for

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.440
<v Speaker 1>us to get to a place of real significant change.

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:17.280
<v Speaker 1>I'm struggling with the way in which the oppressors right

0:02:18.360 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>and those that uphold systems of injustice want to tell

0:02:23.000 --> 0:02:29.680
<v Speaker 1>other people the right way right to protest systems of injustice.

0:02:29.960 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 1>So what I'm going to offer today are a couple

0:02:33.600 --> 0:02:36.920
<v Speaker 1>of my thoughts, not on different news stories, but on

0:02:37.040 --> 0:02:41.239
<v Speaker 1>this particular story, because I think, friends, that this story

0:02:41.440 --> 0:02:46.720
<v Speaker 1>that it's happening on college campuses is the most important

0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.839
<v Speaker 1>story in America right now, and I'm going to tell

0:02:49.880 --> 0:02:55.760
<v Speaker 1>you why. From my perspective, Colleges and universities have always

0:02:55.880 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>been a petri dish, if you will, a place of

0:03:00.360 --> 0:03:06.320
<v Speaker 1>great experiment and thought, a microcosm of what society is

0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and who it wants to be, a place where you

0:03:10.680 --> 0:03:18.239
<v Speaker 1>can go to sharpen your skills right and understanding of

0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:24.640
<v Speaker 1>various industries, various philosophies, to learn how to socialize with

0:03:25.120 --> 0:03:29.320
<v Speaker 1>so many different groups of people, people from around the

0:03:29.400 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 1>United States, from around the world, from different ethnic groups,

0:03:33.280 --> 0:03:40.240
<v Speaker 1>from different cultural backgrounds, different sexual orientations and identities. Right,

0:03:41.040 --> 0:03:44.680
<v Speaker 1>the importance of colleges and universities to me is not

0:03:44.840 --> 0:03:47.520
<v Speaker 1>just about the lie of what it was of getting

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.800
<v Speaker 1>a good job, because that's what my generation was told,

0:03:51.360 --> 0:03:53.800
<v Speaker 1>is that you go to college because you can't get

0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.840
<v Speaker 1>a quote unquote good job without going there. And now, college,

0:03:57.840 --> 0:04:00.839
<v Speaker 1>as I continue to say, is a Ponzi scheme, right,

0:04:00.880 --> 0:04:03.880
<v Speaker 1>it is a setup, particularly for those in middle and

0:04:03.920 --> 0:04:09.600
<v Speaker 1>low income communities that are roped into ratcheting up six

0:04:09.680 --> 0:04:12.880
<v Speaker 1>figure plus worth of debt that they're told that they

0:04:12.920 --> 0:04:18.320
<v Speaker 1>can't exist in the professional workspace without, but are not

0:04:18.440 --> 0:04:22.120
<v Speaker 1>given the certainty that said debt is going to shove

0:04:22.320 --> 0:04:26.720
<v Speaker 1>somehow provide them with a better life and a better future. Right,

0:04:26.800 --> 0:04:30.719
<v Speaker 1>Because what we are seeing now with the younger generations

0:04:31.320 --> 0:04:35.479
<v Speaker 1>is that that's not the fucking case, because income has

0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:41.720
<v Speaker 1>not kept pace with inflation, with corporate greed, right, with

0:04:41.839 --> 0:04:44.719
<v Speaker 1>the rise in rent and mortgages and interest rates in

0:04:44.760 --> 0:04:47.719
<v Speaker 1>all of these things. And so when people want to

0:04:47.760 --> 0:04:50.840
<v Speaker 1>dictate to young people about how to best spend their money,

0:04:51.040 --> 0:04:53.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not the same fucking pot of money. Yoh, Like,

0:04:53.640 --> 0:04:58.520
<v Speaker 1>it's just not. But aside from the economics that are

0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:05.120
<v Speaker 1>at play, the point of colleges and universities is really

0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:11.359
<v Speaker 1>to help diversify thought, to help put different perspectives on

0:05:11.680 --> 0:05:14.680
<v Speaker 1>critical issues and see if we can't look at them

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>from a different lens, from a different vantage point and

0:05:17.560 --> 0:05:24.480
<v Speaker 1>come up with solutions right like to our most pressing

0:05:24.720 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 1>issues and problems. It is also the place where young

0:05:31.480 --> 0:05:38.080
<v Speaker 1>people begin to formalize their perspectives and their opinions on

0:05:38.160 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>a myriad of issues, in justice being one of them. Right,

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.760
<v Speaker 1>you're taught from such a young age right from wrong,

0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:51.560
<v Speaker 1>or at least you used to be, and we all

0:05:51.600 --> 0:05:54.840
<v Speaker 1>had some universal idea of what was right and what

0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.520
<v Speaker 1>was wrong. It was wrong to cause unnecessary harm to people.

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:02.160
<v Speaker 1>It was wrong to be mean, it was wrong to steal,

0:06:02.320 --> 0:06:04.719
<v Speaker 1>to murder, to pillage, all of these things. Like, we

0:06:04.760 --> 0:06:10.360
<v Speaker 1>were taught what was right and wrong. But then now,

0:06:10.680 --> 0:06:14.000
<v Speaker 1>as I look back through my own education, you realize that,

0:06:14.279 --> 0:06:17.680
<v Speaker 1>like you may have been told on the playground, don't

0:06:17.760 --> 0:06:21.599
<v Speaker 1>knock down Johnny and take his candy, right, because that's

0:06:21.680 --> 0:06:24.359
<v Speaker 1>not yours, it doesn't belong to you. But when we

0:06:24.480 --> 0:06:29.400
<v Speaker 1>see it on a larger political scale and landscape, right,

0:06:29.640 --> 0:06:35.000
<v Speaker 1>then somehow the ends justify the means. And was it

0:06:35.040 --> 0:06:41.560
<v Speaker 1>really Johnny's candy, right or was it mine? And you know,

0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:43.960
<v Speaker 1>and if there are more people in my corner saying

0:06:43.960 --> 0:06:47.359
<v Speaker 1>that that candy is actually belongs to me and Johnny

0:06:47.400 --> 0:06:56.640
<v Speaker 1>really stole it, what then becomes the truth. I do

0:06:56.839 --> 0:06:59.360
<v Speaker 1>not think that the issues that are playing out on

0:06:59.400 --> 0:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>the college emphasis are that complex. I really don't. I

0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think that it is complex at all to bear

0:07:13.920 --> 0:07:20.160
<v Speaker 1>witness to horrific atrocities on your phone every single day,

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:28.360
<v Speaker 1>where you see headlines and videos that show you body parts,

0:07:28.840 --> 0:07:34.920
<v Speaker 1>headlines of yet another mass grave that was uncovered in Israel,

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:46.200
<v Speaker 1>filled with the bodies and parts of Palestinian people. Don't

0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>take my word for it, Google it because it was

0:07:50.520 --> 0:07:59.720
<v Speaker 1>broadcast on CNN. How many war crimes does it take

0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>for folks to recognize that those that say that they

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:15.880
<v Speaker 1>are the victims right can also victimize That two things

0:08:15.920 --> 0:08:21.040
<v Speaker 1>can be true at the same time. That there can

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:27.920
<v Speaker 1>indeed be anti Semitism that exists and anti Islamophobia that

0:08:28.000 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>exists as well, anti you know that exists as well,

0:08:34.440 --> 0:08:41.640
<v Speaker 1>That those that were oppressed when given unbridled power, can

0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>also turn around and become the oppressor. And that is

0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:54.439
<v Speaker 1>what young people are seeing. They're asking themselves, why are

0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:58.520
<v Speaker 1>we funding this? It is one thing to have the

0:08:58.640 --> 0:09:01.120
<v Speaker 1>right to defend yourself, but you do not have the

0:09:01.200 --> 0:09:07.520
<v Speaker 1>right to torment, destroy, abuse and torture all others because

0:09:07.520 --> 0:09:14.719
<v Speaker 1>of your sense right of victimhood, because what does that

0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:23.000
<v Speaker 1>then make you? For so long, hundreds of years in fact,

0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>enslavers did not want to teach the enslaved Africans how

0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:40.439
<v Speaker 1>to read because knowledge is power, did not allow enslaved

0:09:40.840 --> 0:09:47.160
<v Speaker 1>Africans to congregate in mass because then community is built.

0:09:49.400 --> 0:09:55.600
<v Speaker 1>Because they dictated the rules of slavery through the lens

0:09:55.600 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 1>of fear of uprising. Well, the thing is is that

0:10:00.480 --> 0:10:03.680
<v Speaker 1>you don't actually have to fear an uprising. If you're

0:10:03.720 --> 0:10:16.600
<v Speaker 1>not torturing, brutally beating, right and like manipulating, verbally abusing people,

0:10:17.000 --> 0:10:19.400
<v Speaker 1>then you don't have to worry about what happens when

0:10:19.400 --> 0:10:27.480
<v Speaker 1>they become free. And yet, through my own lens, when

0:10:27.600 --> 0:10:37.160
<v Speaker 1>I traveled to Israel and Palestine, I saw oppression that

0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:42.320
<v Speaker 1>I had only ever read in history books. I saw

0:10:42.360 --> 0:10:47.000
<v Speaker 1>apartheid with my own eyes. When you have two types

0:10:47.080 --> 0:10:51.760
<v Speaker 1>of license plates, one for one group of people and

0:10:51.800 --> 0:10:54.319
<v Speaker 1>one for another. And I'm not talking about the difference

0:10:54.320 --> 0:10:58.480
<v Speaker 1>in license plates of those that live in Texas versus

0:10:58.559 --> 0:11:03.200
<v Speaker 1>those that live in Louisiana. I'm talking about a license

0:11:03.280 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>plate that says that you are less than human and

0:11:06.840 --> 0:11:12.200
<v Speaker 1>that you do not belong on this road. Similarly to

0:11:12.600 --> 0:11:16.960
<v Speaker 1>the sunset laws that are still on the books in

0:11:17.080 --> 0:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>many states inside of these United States, that dictated that

0:11:20.800 --> 0:11:27.360
<v Speaker 1>any black person, regardless of their status, found inside of

0:11:27.400 --> 0:11:34.680
<v Speaker 1>any said town after sunset, could be lynched, could be beaten,

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>could be raped, could be maimed, could be tortured because

0:11:40.640 --> 0:11:48.520
<v Speaker 1>that person, that black body, was not welcomed. I understand

0:11:51.040 --> 0:11:55.320
<v Speaker 1>what it is like to feel unsafe. I understand it

0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:58.240
<v Speaker 1>through the lens of being black. I understand it through

0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.920
<v Speaker 1>the lens of being a woman, understand it through the

0:12:01.000 --> 0:12:04.920
<v Speaker 1>lens of being queer. I understand it in a way

0:12:05.240 --> 0:12:13.079
<v Speaker 1>that my ancestors didn't have the ability as some groups

0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:16.720
<v Speaker 1>who came to these United States willingly. First of all,

0:12:16.920 --> 0:12:20.480
<v Speaker 1>so there's already we're starting off in a different fucking place,

0:12:21.800 --> 0:12:24.600
<v Speaker 1>but willingly come here and then change their name so

0:12:24.720 --> 0:12:28.120
<v Speaker 1>that they could assimilate and the generations after them could

0:12:28.160 --> 0:12:33.679
<v Speaker 1>assimilate into this country, because when you're black, you don't

0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:37.360
<v Speaker 1>just get to change your skin. It doesn't work that way.

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.360
<v Speaker 1>So much so that they created an entire rule and

0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:47.360
<v Speaker 1>system called the one drop rule, meaning that if you

0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:52.440
<v Speaker 1>had even one drop of African blood in you, you

0:12:52.520 --> 0:12:57.640
<v Speaker 1>were black. Because for white America, it was always about

0:12:57.640 --> 0:13:02.960
<v Speaker 1>a numbers game, and they had to continue to suppress

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:08.160
<v Speaker 1>the number of black people right so that they could

0:13:08.240 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>continue with their oppression and their power. It is not

0:13:17.200 --> 0:13:23.520
<v Speaker 1>hard now to look back in time and say, oh,

0:13:23.559 --> 0:13:27.840
<v Speaker 1>that was repulsive, But do you know how I grew up, Well,

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:30.920
<v Speaker 1>that was the times. That's what my teacher said, Oh

0:13:31.520 --> 0:13:35.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's what they did then, not that it

0:13:35.920 --> 0:13:40.320
<v Speaker 1>was cruel and inhumane and horrific. And my god, let

0:13:40.440 --> 0:13:46.920
<v Speaker 1>us look at this and how we decide to oppress

0:13:46.960 --> 0:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>an entire group of people and criminalize them for nothing

0:13:50.200 --> 0:13:54.560
<v Speaker 1>other than existing in the same space as you, and

0:13:54.640 --> 0:13:57.840
<v Speaker 1>you feeling threatened just by virtue of having to share

0:13:57.960 --> 0:14:02.880
<v Speaker 1>space with other people that may not look like you,

0:14:02.960 --> 0:14:09.920
<v Speaker 1>that may not pray like you. If we actually embraced

0:14:10.360 --> 0:14:18.000
<v Speaker 1>real civil behavior in modern civilization, then we wouldn't have

0:14:18.160 --> 0:14:23.760
<v Speaker 1>to worry. But when it's decided that the only way

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:27.360
<v Speaker 1>that you can stay safe and in power is to

0:14:27.400 --> 0:14:32.240
<v Speaker 1>press your foot on somebody else's neck and tell them

0:14:32.280 --> 0:14:35.560
<v Speaker 1>that they are the problem. What do you think that

0:14:35.640 --> 0:14:40.840
<v Speaker 1>the long term result is going to be? So when

0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:48.000
<v Speaker 1>young people now are looking around understanding how much money

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.520
<v Speaker 1>they are paying into these institutions that are paying into

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>systems that they do not want their money to go towards.

0:14:56.320 --> 0:14:59.600
<v Speaker 1>Much in the same way that the United States is

0:14:59.680 --> 0:15:03.680
<v Speaker 1>paying billions of dollars a year, three to four billion

0:15:03.760 --> 0:15:10.480
<v Speaker 1>in fact, to provide welfare for Israel, and you put

0:15:10.600 --> 0:15:19.160
<v Speaker 1>no contingency on that money, like to build an actual democracy,

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:23.600
<v Speaker 1>even one that is as imperfect as the United States.

0:15:23.640 --> 0:15:28.520
<v Speaker 1>But my God, when I was in Israel, I said,

0:15:28.840 --> 0:15:31.680
<v Speaker 1>this is what the United States would have looked like

0:15:31.960 --> 0:15:36.120
<v Speaker 1>had the Civil rights movement not happened, or had it

0:15:36.160 --> 0:15:41.440
<v Speaker 1>been queuched, had the justices that were on the Supreme

0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:44.120
<v Speaker 1>Court be the very justices that are sitting there now,

0:15:44.880 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>I'm sure as fuck wouldn't have a podcast, let alone

0:15:47.920 --> 0:15:49.880
<v Speaker 1>be living in the building that I'm living in and

0:15:49.960 --> 0:15:52.680
<v Speaker 1>the part of town that I'm living in. Having had

0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:58.240
<v Speaker 1>an education that I had, there is no civilized way

0:15:58.440 --> 0:16:05.960
<v Speaker 1>to protest against in civility. Martin Luther King was the

0:16:06.000 --> 0:16:11.160
<v Speaker 1>biggest proponent an example of non violent resistance, and do

0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>you know what they did to him? They shot him dead,

0:16:14.400 --> 0:16:21.560
<v Speaker 1>widowed his wife, and left his children fatherless. The late

0:16:22.880 --> 0:16:33.240
<v Speaker 1>Congressman John Lewis marched peacefully across Edmund's Bridge and was

0:16:33.320 --> 0:16:39.320
<v Speaker 1>beaten and bloodied by a legal system that told him

0:16:39.320 --> 0:16:43.600
<v Speaker 1>that he did not have the right to exist. Black

0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.920
<v Speaker 1>panthers that organized in this country for black liberation, that

0:16:48.040 --> 0:16:52.840
<v Speaker 1>created food programs and literacy programs in after school programs

0:16:53.520 --> 0:17:02.960
<v Speaker 1>were bombed, jailed, and assassinated by this government. What were

0:17:02.960 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 1>they doing? They were bearing arms the way that the

0:17:06.080 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 1>constitution told them that they could. They didn't see the

0:17:10.440 --> 0:17:12.720
<v Speaker 1>fine print that had said only white men were allowed

0:17:12.760 --> 0:17:17.400
<v Speaker 1>to do that, and that in so exercising the fullness

0:17:17.400 --> 0:17:23.040
<v Speaker 1>of your citizen injury would cost you your life. There

0:17:23.040 --> 0:17:27.240
<v Speaker 1>are still political prisoners in these United States that were

0:17:27.280 --> 0:17:33.160
<v Speaker 1>black liberationists. They only are let out of jail when

0:17:33.160 --> 0:17:38.080
<v Speaker 1>they are on depth's door. That's the modern day political

0:17:38.119 --> 0:17:44.000
<v Speaker 1>way of leaving the body hanging from the news or

0:17:44.200 --> 0:17:48.159
<v Speaker 1>leaving Mike Brown's body rotting in the street after police

0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:52.040
<v Speaker 1>officers killed him. For four hours in the hot sun

0:17:54.040 --> 0:17:56.240
<v Speaker 1>as a reminder to stay in your place. There is

0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:03.480
<v Speaker 1>no right way to react to the obscenity of what

0:18:03.640 --> 0:18:08.720
<v Speaker 1>is considered the rule of law. So when you see

0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:16.840
<v Speaker 1>young people setting up camps, barricading themselves in buildings, and

0:18:16.920 --> 0:18:22.959
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out how to have their voice is heard.

0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:30.399
<v Speaker 1>When they try to be civil but are met with incivility,

0:18:31.080 --> 0:18:34.679
<v Speaker 1>you tell me what is the right way. If I

0:18:34.720 --> 0:18:39.400
<v Speaker 1>can't critique a system of government because of the religion

0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:43.040
<v Speaker 1>of the people who are running that government, how are

0:18:43.040 --> 0:18:45.439
<v Speaker 1>we to form conversation and get to a point of

0:18:45.560 --> 0:18:52.960
<v Speaker 1>change and clarity. There are bigger issues at play here

0:18:53.320 --> 0:19:01.439
<v Speaker 1>that are about power and control, subjugation and silence. It

0:19:01.480 --> 0:19:04.480
<v Speaker 1>isn't just about what's happening on the college campuses, my friend.

0:19:04.560 --> 0:19:08.720
<v Speaker 1>It is about what is happening all around us. And

0:19:08.840 --> 0:19:12.639
<v Speaker 1>the questions that I want to be asked and not

0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:19.040
<v Speaker 1>necessarily answered on this show every single day is what

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:21.600
<v Speaker 1>are we going to do about it? How are we

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:27.440
<v Speaker 1>going to create this more perfect union? How are we

0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:32.880
<v Speaker 1>going to talk openly and honestly about injustice and our

0:19:32.960 --> 0:19:42.959
<v Speaker 1>responsibility to bring light to darkness. That is the underlying

0:19:43.040 --> 0:19:48.080
<v Speaker 1>question of what it means to be woke. What kind

0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:51.360
<v Speaker 1>of world do we want to live in and how

0:19:51.359 --> 0:19:55.040
<v Speaker 1>do we want to create it together? Because it's sure

0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:57.360
<v Speaker 1>as fuck is not about lying about what we are

0:19:57.359 --> 0:20:00.320
<v Speaker 1>seeing with our own eyes and pretending it doesn't ega exist,

0:20:01.520 --> 0:20:04.440
<v Speaker 1>or staying silent because we don't want to hurt other

0:20:04.480 --> 0:20:12.320
<v Speaker 1>people's feelings. It is about telling the truth. It is

0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:18.800
<v Speaker 1>about integrity, It is about compassion and empathy. That's how

0:20:18.840 --> 0:20:27.000
<v Speaker 1>we build community. It starts with us. It starts with

0:20:27.160 --> 0:20:32.320
<v Speaker 1>hard conversations about who we are and who we want

0:20:32.359 --> 0:20:39.600
<v Speaker 1>to be. That is it for me today, Dear friends

0:20:39.720 --> 0:20:43.359
<v Speaker 1>on Woke a f as always, Power to the people

0:20:43.480 --> 0:20:47.560
<v Speaker 1>and to all the people. Power, get woke and stay

0:20:48.000 --> 0:20:48.680
<v Speaker 1>woke as fuck.
