South Africa was... So I grew up in apartheid South Africa, but more specifically, the fall of apartheid. So it was the 80s. I was a teenager in the 80s. And our community would... Part of our social life, frankly, was the anti-apartheid protests and to go be with white people, black people, kind of mixing it all together.

The most formative experience is, frankly, how much I appreciate a place like America where we have value for human life. So there was a country where human life was not valued. It was a It's a weird thing to come from that to here where we take it so seriously if someone dies in a war or something like that. And we just didn't take it seriously in South Africa. People died.

where people were killed. I saw someone killed in front of me. I was getting off a train, and it's a very violent train, known for violence. We were stupid kids. We didn't really listen to our parents. We went on this train, and the doors opened, and I had people trying to get off the train.

And in front of me, two black people, one black guy just stabbed this knife in the side of this other black guy's head. You're like, what the fuck? And you just, I've got to get off the train. How old were you at this time? Probably 16 or 17. And I got to get off the train. And everyone is trying to get me to get off because they're all behind me.

So I step off and I step into the pool of blood, one foot, and then I just walk for about 100 paces while the stickiness of the blood just kind of, for my sneakers, just on one foot, just like leaves a footprint behind me. And you just walk on. You just walk on. Did the others walk on as well? Everyone walked on.

I've heard this before, which I think I agree with, is when someone is killed, someone is taken from our lives, the vacuum that it creates, the social vacuum, is extraordinarily painful. And it truly is true. I mean, if someone in my community passes away, it's very, very sad for me.

And when you go to a place where, you know, grow up in a place where that human life is not valued, there's something about the, there's a little bit less of the social vacuum created because everyone is kind of expecting everyone to potentially be taken out at any moment. Yeah. But then there's also a beauty to it because there's a much more of a celebratory element.
