So I guess all I want to say is I think we underestimate people's capacity to not necessarily forgive because you don't want to put people in a position where they have to offer forgiveness, although they might.
But we underestimate...
people's capacity to be helped or partially repaired or made better or made partially whole by having the chance to be face-to-face with the person who is truly prepared to acknowledge the harm that they have created and apologize for it.
Throughout.
I mean, starting with the arrest, which the commenter is talking about, right?
That moment when Keith is pulled over by the police, right?
A few miles from the bank after leading them on some manner of kind of a high-speed chase, right?
And we have, you know, I mean, black kids shot and killed holding a toy gun.
And so...
For sure, I had that reaction.
I also had the reaction throughout the fact that Good Morning America was interested in his story, the way the police treated the girls when they came to their house.
So it seemed to me throughout the process that there was an amount of privilege that he was getting.
I will say...
That I'm trying to work towards a system where we level up and everyone gets treated that way.
So I don't want to have a reality where I say, well, I'm mad that that happened to you, right?
You should be beaten and mistreated and your family, your daughter should be taken into child custody, whatever.
just because that would happen to a black family, I want to flip it.
And I want to say to black families, to poor families, to families of color, we're going to give you, you know, the Keith Giamonco treatment.
