S2 Ep1004: Wes Moore: The System Doesn't Work for a Lot of People

That's what got the Ku Klux Klan then making threats to our family, where in the middle of the night, he picks up his family and he leaves. And they didn't just leave town, like they left this country and they went back to Jamaica. And most of my family always said that they would never come back to this country. And much of my family has never come back to this country.

And what was crazy to him is that the same threats that started coming to his father started coming to him. But he stuck. He never left. And he devoted the rest of his life to his faith, to his community, to his family. He devoted his life with a deep belief in this country. And I tell you, because he had a deep Jamaican accent his entire life.

All right. I like that. But, you know, but he believed in this country. But it's not like he was ignorant to it. He believed in what it could be. And I just feel like it'd be real disrespectful to him. And to everything he had to endure for me to turn around and say, because of an election, I'm done. You know what I mean? Like this, this country is not built that way.

If we said that every time there was a bad election in America, if we said every time there was a bad occurrence or a bad incident, then then none of this would be real. This is a real bad one, though. This is a real no, honestly. And it's a real bad one because no one should be surprised. Right. That's the thing. All the stuff we're doing, we're saying right now is not like we didn't warn you.

And so I just feel like we have to remember this. That what we also have to do is it's not even just about the people who went from, OK, how does a person go from Clinton to Trump or Biden to Trump or Obama?
