“The reason I talked about race in that particular characterization because there's a particular way in which I have come to a city I don't know if there are a lot of black people out here. Not sure. But I constantly come to places and spaces that are not my natural habitat other than intellectual engagement and the love and the fury of rhetorical engagement yes. But I often go into hostile spaces where people will not vote in favor from my particular viewpoint because I'm interested as an individual of breaking down barriers so that people can understand just how complicated it is. So what I'm saying to you is that I would invite you in terms of the surrender of your privilege to give you a specific a specific response come with me to a black Baptist Church. Come with me to a historically black college. Come to me to an to an indigenous or First Nations community where we're able to engage in some of the lovely conversation, but also to listen and hear. And when I added race to that I was talking about the historically events’ inability to acknowledge others’ pains equally to the one that they are presently enduring. As a human being I love you my brother, but I stand by my comment.”
