00:00This idea of having to explain why it's racial while we're standing in our own blood is silly,
00:07I think.
00:08It's racial because it doesn't happen to white people.
00:09So is it okay to use violence to get what you want or not?
00:13Because a cop blew the head off of Michael Brown, shot a teenager six times, but Michael
00:19Brown's the savage because he pushed a guy in a convenience store?
00:21Yeah.
00:22Like, you don't own us anymore.
00:24You see?
00:25Like, either we all have the same inalienable rights or we don't.
00:28Back in the day, we could have separate rights, but that noise is dead now.
00:33The idea that feeling threatened is not the same thing as being threatened.
00:38It's not the same thing.
00:40We pretend that it is, but it's not.
00:42There are systems that are in place that put us where we are today, and we don't learn
00:46history in school.
00:47You learn white supremacy for 12 years.
00:48You learn to believe that you never were anything and everybody that has accomplished anything
00:52looks a certain way, and that civilization started in Europe.
00:55There has been no war that we have not fought and died on the front lines of.
01:00There has been no job we haven't done.
01:02There's no tax they haven't levied against us, and we've paid all of them.
01:06But freedom is somehow always conditional here.
01:08You're free, they keep telling us.
01:12She would have been alive if she hadn't acted so free.
