I will never shrink my blackness, who don't do those kind of things.

I'm not going to just be black.

I'm going to be bliggity bliggity black because blackness.

That's who I am.

I come from a family on one side, my mom's family escaped rural poverty outside of Richmond, Virginia in Amelia County to move here when my mom was an infant, right?

My dad's family, my dad followed my uncles here after he graduated from high school where my grandparents ran a pig farm in North Carolina until the day they died.

It's actually why I don't eat pork, right?

I know the history of my family.

I know that even in the 1700s in rural North Carolina, members of my family were free.

They never owned me.

So when you know your history and you know the history of this country, no, I never expected that.

And to truth be told, to have them fight me now about something else, that's their problem.

My job is to make those kind of people uncomfortable because I am working towards undoing systems, policies, practices that have kept people, not just black people, but anybody really who isn't wealthy and a wealthy white male from succeeding to the level that people, they say people can in the American dream, whether you're a woman, whether you're Hispanic, whether you're an immigrant, whether you're LGBTQ, but including black people because I am black, right?

I'm going to continue to do that.

I always tell my team, if we go through a week and someone didn't call me nigger online, we didn't do our job because that means we're not pushing hard enough.

The only time I like to seek credit is about my athletic prowess.

That's it.

That's the only thing that matters to me.

So it doesn't impact me.

I think one thing folks have to understand about Baltimore is we don't really care what other people think outside of Baltimore, especially if you're from Pittsburgh.
