Immediately after the Civil War, instead of dejecting and rejecting those who fought this country and tried to destroy this country, we quote unquote welcomed them back in, right?
Thinking that that was the best way to heal this nation.
Well, fuck, do you feel healed from that?
We're still having the exact same sort of discussions, not at the same height of violence, obviously, but the same baseline discussions about white supremacy, about equality, about justice, the same that we had after the end of the Civil War.
And the reason why is because instead of rejecting those who did not agree with the principles of America, we tried to bring them in and be nice about it.
And you can't be nice with hatred.
If hatred's coming at you with fire, you can't say, oh, burn me and then we'll be brothers.
No, you're crisp.
You're ash.
That's the dynamic that we're dealing with.
And until, you know, progressives, progressive whites, until, you know, Latinos who are trying to figure out how to find their space in this world and, you know, deciding whether or not I should try to, you know,
get cozy up next to the quote unquote, who seems to be winning right now with MAGA.
And in doing that, perhaps putting the rest of my community as some sort of mortal danger because of what we're seeing with ICE and everything.
But you're trying to find some sort of acceptance within this larger white supremacist sort of umbrella in America.
Like we have to have these real conversations within our communities.
We're both queer.
You and I both know we have to check people left and right who think because they're gay that somehow they don't have racism or sexism.
So like these conversations that we have to have, Don, you know, come on, bro.
You know what I'm saying?
And you mad because you didn't, like what?
