Never.

Yeah.

I, during the course of my journalistic career and interviewing a million different people, met really brilliant black people.

Went to amazing schools, advanced degrees, and they were covered in racial battle scars.

Constantly questioned.

I never had that.

So, look, I understand what you said.

I was always in rooms where black people were brilliant and the smartest people in the room.

I knew that one.

By the time I got to LSU, I knew that because I went to an all-black elementary school and all-rights junior high.

My high school wasn't all black.

I was tired of Catholic school, so I went to a public school.

But, you know, I had all the public school black folks.

It was great.

It was a great experience.

But by the time I got to college, I had been around all-black people.

I lived in an all-black neighborhood, which was sort of a W.E.B.

Du Bois talented tent neighborhood.

You see, you all do a beer for Lisa Beaver.
