[applause] >> let me thank andrew for that introduction and for inviting me here to the community college. is the eighth is that right? i'm really proud to be here and also let me think the student presenters i think we should give them another round of applause. [applause] for the incredible work that they are doing. i had to cut the talkback of the lips i'm going to ask andrew to keep me on time and let me also thank c-span for its coverage of the talk. i've also linked this to the new book that was just published april 15, backlash and structurally the philosophical discourse and content is linked to the text. i decided to situate the talk with dear white america was by implication backlash which in the column, the stone in 2015 but let me issue a warning some of the language in the talk will not be pleasant infected will be raw and very uneasy but i am reminded of black skinned white masks where he says i want my voice to be harsh, i don't want it to be beautiful or pure. please n
