5:36 pm
that's what we're trying to expose here. we need to expose globally what's happening here in australia because we resonate with people like george floyd, we resonate with those families. we resonate with various testing hussy around the world that are going on same solar issue with every stop you think about it too hard to hear. the slavery was sent free play masses, or part time masses they became brain, gra kilo, the black about 70 is from around the whole town, the tulsa, oklahoma and rosewood, florida. they measured flash alive me . when i see black america, i see part of myself. when i was growing up, black america spoke to me when white astray did not. we are ready. we
5:37 pm

5:38 pm
they knew i came out of the same black churches as jesse jackson and martin luther king. aus was the church of the forsaken and these men were our patron saints and from black america. i learned how to speak back to whiteness, the wind, which we could to trade on color or religion or this. there are other ways of conducting ben. i tell you that when i left this country in 1948, i was just telling you one reason only one reason i where i, when i got the hong kong i matter on a tim up to end up in paris on the speech, paris. that's right. and i'm talking on the theory, enough thing words could happen to me. they said it already happened to me here. you talk about making it right about yourself. you won't be able then to turn up

5:40 pm
as animals. and we see that language being used by presidents like reagan being used by ordinary citizens, being used to talk about michelle obama as 1st lady. so, you know, and i think people have passively taken that in and then believe it as fast, you know, so when we have somebody like president trump saying, you can tell these people anything and they'll believe it. he's not law quickly, this won't steal our innocence. me, i didn't get to discover the world through my eyes. i was the one discovered i was the one captured in the white gaze and learned at school the hard lesson of life. i

5:42 pm
about my parents. i told them about our history. as a walked out of the class, one of my friends turned to me and said, why do you have to always talk about that? and we came back into class after lunch and scrawled across the board. be kind to stan, need love to might seem like just a little thing. it might seem like something you can struggle of sitting here to die. why should that matter? why should that matter to me? but you can never let go. of those things. people know, just wait a hurt you they know just how to charity, what you will place in the world is and what the price of belonging really is
