W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

So that we could have the conversation to move a society, the movement of society, to that place of the elusive, yet tangible sometimes, equality.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

Thank you.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

And those skills that all three of us have developed, you know, and,

Mick Unplugged

This only child syndrome.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

But we learn to be excellent.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

And the world would be a great place if people had that skill of a desire to be excellent, right?

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

So it's nothing wrong with that.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

It's just that when you have to be excellent and you might not be noticed as that.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

As you look around and we think about the conditions which we're living in right now, the irony of the challenge to DEI where we have just installed an entire government of people who are not excellent.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

That's the nicest way to say it.

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

Not excellent in the way that you needed to be at Chapel Hill, right?

and a resource community, but we couldn't get the black children and the brown children to the top of the class so that they could continue to walk right on over to that university, right?

Mick Unplugged
W. Kamau Bell & Glenn Singleton: Confronting Race: Courageous Conversations That Matter

And so that's why we came together to make sure that your excellence was marked as excellent and to make sure that those who were not feeling excellent were given the resources so at least they could be that if they put in the effort.
