Yes, tear it all down and start over.

But I know those forks reappear.

You've got to say it.

I think in theory...

I think in the real world where there's a million moving pieces, including the internal population and their politics and other nation states and their politics and how that has all been globalized with social media and the Internet and AI, the dangers involved in a start from scratch approach to the largest, most wealth, the wealthiest country in the world.

The dangers in that are also very evident to me.

And whenever there's danger, what history tells me is that black people get the worst of it.

So, yes, I think, yes, I would love in theory if I could map it all out on my computer and rewrite the history to be right.

Yes, I would do that.

But because I know we don't have the reins of power.

We don't have the bulk of the wealth.

In that chaos, if something goes wrong, we get the worst.

But I don't believe that we're starting over.

The difference is that we're starting over with the knowledge of who we really are and what this country really is.

Who is the we?

All of us.

We're not all of us because half the country doesn't believe the truth right now.

Well, but it would put us, I think it puts us at at least an advantage with this rebuilding that we didn't have from the beginning of knowing exactly.

And maybe less, I believe, less hope.

Are you assuming that the rebuilding happens without these people here?
