it seems balks like us who came get to great jobs and own a home, give good thing this to our children, that is all we are supposed to do. houses been burned to the ground, people being murdered it was so bad i could have a nice car and go to these fancy conferences to talk about the black stuff. so now we have to reconcile that and i think that is where we failed. we're pushing new and fighting for you to make it so you can go back and teach and employ a come of the coming expose, defend, that is the part we failed. will we have been doing with that opportunities and the wealth is to do our best on businesses are products that are not representative of the community. some of the greatest economic achievement is making sure families are wealthy and prosperous and educated. we make sure they're doing great but our communities are suffering. wouldn't it be great if they would be responsible for creating our own held 10? isn't that a better legacy than just think you? now we can buy polo or stay at the w hotel. that is the conversation that we were being hypocritical the movement had stal

but it's almost -- this is why i've always balked at the phrase "global village," which seems like an oxymoron. people know each other whole, they know each other in context. my neighborhoods in a small village might see me going to the liquor store to buy my bourbon, but they also know i'm nice to my kids. in google the worst thing you've done is the first thing people know about you. people are constantly judged out of condition text on the basis -- context on the basis of snippets of information that can only emerge slowly, over time in areas of reciprocity and intimacy, and that's why i fear our current state is far more be brutal than traditional communities were. >> related to that, i think s the whole controversy about using shaming, public shaming as a vehicle for encouraging norm enforcement, and john braceway has done some fantastic work on exactly the same point that you're making here, that shaming and shunning makes sense within a community in which there's some hope of reintegration rather than being banished forever. and so i think it's a profound point that has aspects
