Here is my issue.
Jackson Dart, you know how several of your brothers, your teammates, your friends, your rider dies, how they might feel about this individual.
So I don't think there's a lot of wisdom or discernment in very publicly supporting an individual who many of your teammates feel offended by.
My brother, I've heard nothing but good things.
I call you a brother because you've had my brother on, my blood brother, Sam Macho.
Y'all's conversation was fantastic.
So I am looking forward to this dialogue, dude.
I don't talk often outside of my sports show, but when I find genuine people and meaningful people, dude, I'm excited.
That's well said.
I see it a lot.
The reason I do not struggle with that is because I believe that maintaining an ignorant opinion is to disrespect your own intellect.
And I would rather disrespect my quote unquote tribe if my tribe is being ignorant than disrespect my own intellect if I have now unlocked the aperture of my mind to a new way, to a better way, to a more righteous way, to a more honest way, to a more just way.
There is a lot of peer pressure to maintaining ignorance, but how can I maintain ignorance?
I believe it was Maya Angelou who said, to know better is to do better.
Like once you know better,
Do better.

One of my favorite questions to ever ask anybody in life, and it came from Oprah.
After I recorded my...
I recorded my second episode of Uncomfortable Conversations with a Black Man.
