Podcast Appearances
I think you were a participant with his world.
You were trying to figure out what he had said that caused people to label him as a racist.
Is that right?
So that was unfortunate what they did, but I think that... And what he did, I was sitting in my bathroom in New York City when I heard him say that live, what he said.
And I was like...
I was like, oh, this isn't going to go well.
But he went on a series of podcasts with black men and said, here's what I intended, which was, if you don't want me around, I'm not going to be around.
That's all.
If you don't want me in your neighborhood, I'll be in your neighborhood.
If you don't want me in your place of employment, I don't want to be around where people don't want me around.
And he was just sort of expressing that.
But he said it in a way that people could twist it and use it and whatever.
And he tried to help people understand that
The polling showed that they don't want you around.
That's what your polling showed.
Yeah.
It's not okay to be you.
Yeah.
I will just make a pitch for contact.
You can live and hang out with whoever you want, but it's really important to contact different people, different ideas and not live in a bubble.
