We've now been living with this for 10 years, especially on the left.

And it became a lot about identity politics.

That kind of came into the newsroom over the Slack, over social media.

And so I'm- Give us some examples.

Just like the idea of like everyone, like everyone who's white is a white supremacist, even if they don't know it, you're racist.

So like you should really question what you believe because more often than not, you're racist.

You have cisgender privilege, right?

I literally was just like, I guess this is what is true.

I was just like, I'm going to listen to BIPOC, which is like POCs, people of color.

I'm going to listen to other people's perspectives, and I'm going to sit down and shut up, essentially, to listen to what other people have to say.

And not that there's anything wrong.

Obviously, I think historically, minority voices have been

excluded from conversation.

So like there's seeds of truth, right?

But it just took it such to a degree where, you know, we threw out the idea of the MLK would say, you should be judged by the content of your character, not the color of your skin.

That was out the window.

And it was like, everyone who's white and cisgender and privileged doesn't have a perspective here.

So anyway, that's the culture of the newsroom.

Not that anyone's like a gun to my head being like, you must believe this, but it was just the water that I was swimming in.

And I want to be a good person.
