Austin Offscript

And so did mine.

Are you special?

Are you autistic?

Your ancestors got paid, didn't they?

Well, then you're f***ing stupid.

No, you f***ing stupid for the s*** you just said.

Can you say something with some substance, though?

I'm going to say something.

There has been no other ethnic group within the confines of the history of this nation that had the color of their skin stigmatized like black Americans did not one.

So let me say that one more time for the camera.

There is no other ethnic group in the history of this nation that had the color of their skin defined as the basis upon which they were stigmatized and used as a thing, as a tool, not a person to be respected.

Not true.

You do know that at one point it was illegal to even teach slaves to read.

It was illegal to even issue birth certificates.

I understand.

Listen, my daddy was born in 1965.

He and his mother, let me be clear, my grandmother, went through, saw Dr. King give the I Have a Dream speech.

Shirley Franklin saw Dr. King give the I Have a Dream speech.

So they were alive during the time that the lasting economic impact of slavery and redlining

and Jim Crow and segregation and the lack of real estate access had direct impacts on black Americans.
