And you weren't really thinking about
the land and the world that you're living in in the first place.
Because I'm here to tell you, I've been to a lot of places where I brought, like, my husband, who's the only white guy in the spaces, and you're damn sure I made sure he was always looked after and taken care of to make sure that he felt comfortable in the space.
Not that anything was going to pop off, but just, like, he's the only one, right?
Like, how are you just not going to...
check in to make sure, you know, he's all right.
And I'm thinking about, you know, Nolan Wells, and I'm going, so y'all trying to tell me that nobody checked on the brother, but you're all supposed to be boys?
Are you kidding me?
In Mississippi?
Like, it's... So that's the reason why the families have to do more
because the gaslighting and the playing in our faces of the criminal justice system all these years has placed us in this position that we can't just blindly trust the system.
We can't just assume, even if they look like us within the system, we can't just assume that they're always going to do things proper by us.
We have to have the extra burden of making sure that we're taking care of ourselves, that we're looking after ourselves.
And it's frustrating and it makes you angry, of course,
But I almost try to be frustrated and angry, making sure I'm checking up and making sure everything's done right.
Then assume that they're looking out for me and then being blindsided by the reality that they really weren't.
safe because you're going to make sure because you don't first of all you don't want to get blamed for it you don't want to be the one coming back saying we lost the white guy and it should be that way right with white folks as it relates to black people as well especially in mississippi you have to say this part though don this isn't like in new york or chicago or la you know this is the deep red south mississippi with a well-known history
Chances are your relatives and your lineage were part of some of the video footage that we saw during the 50s and the 60s.
Let's not play about this.
We always like to talk about eyes on a product of documentary series as if they weren't related to anybody alive today.
