00:00Dr. Ibram Kendi's book, Stand From the Beginning, there was also a documentary on Netflix that I was in.
00:05I didn't mean to plug myself, but I was in the documentary.
00:07But in the book, the opening of the book, the book was released, I want to say the year of Donald Trump's first year in office.
00:16And the way books happen is typically they're written before, and he basically made a lot of predictions in that.
00:24And he mentioned that with Donald Trump running for president, that this was just another illusion of the ebb and flow of progress that happens for black Americans.
00:33And so when we say there's pushback, pushback happens in pockets, but it's just like an ever, it feels like an everlasting flow.
00:41You know, when we were, I want to say not delivered, Jesus, but when we were emancipated from slavery, there was a pushback of Jim Crow.
00:51When Obama was president, there was the pushback of Trump, and there are definitely like little ripples in between time,
00:57but that pushback is almost inevitable because of the racist roots of this country.
01:01And so I just want people to ensure or make sure that people understand that Project 2025 isn't just a new thing.
01:08It's actually been in the work for some years.
