00:00If we just maintain the idea that we are all children of God,
00:05if you maintain the idea, we're constantly learning, right?
00:08The age is one thing. That's what we did as humans.
00:12We put a number on it and said, at this point, you're supposed to know something.
00:15And in your mind, you feel that you have to act like you know.
00:20And in some ways, that hurts you when you don't know.
00:23There's a lot of men, it doesn't matter the age, they don't know.
00:26And we have to get to a point where we open a space, a safe space, a circle where men can say,
00:32I don't know, man. I don't know. I know I look like I'm supposed to know, but I don't know.
00:37We don't give each other that grace. And that's what I love about your character on The Chi.
00:42You've given other men that space, right? Like that circle.
00:46And I've never seen that on TV.
00:49Shout out to Lena Waithe and Common. Thank you.
00:52Thank you so much for showcasing that experience right there because my character doesn't know.
01:00But what he does know is that he's hurting.
01:03And if he's hurting, then y'all must be hurting too because nothing hurts me.
01:10But that's a lie. That's a fallacy.
01:13That's the biggest lie.
01:14That's the biggest lie.
01:15That's the biggest one.
01:16And I think that's the realization.
01:18I mean, throughout his journey, if you've followed his entire journey, he's trying to figure out who he is.
01:24He's never had the space to figure out, oh, I don't want to be a thug.
01:30I want to go into furniture.
01:33I want to be a musician.
01:35I want to be a doctor.
01:36I want to be something more than what my environment is telling me to be because of survival.
