And you have to tell people, I don't care what the hell you think right now.

You cannot look away from this.

You look away at your own peril.

And this country, listen, let me say this to you.

We are perilously close to losing either the idea of America or the reality of America.

Cut it however you want.

And I just think a lot of our friends, wherever you are on this spectrum, you need to wake the hell up.

This is a time for choosing.

Mitch, do you want one last word?

I'd like to end with the quote that started this whole thing from James Baldwin, which is, I criticize my country precisely because I love her so much.

And I would just say to people who ask me all the time, I'm just a little person.

Like, what can I do?

I'm just a teacher.

I'm the custodian.

I'm the, you know, whatever.

You tell people, look, if you happen to, you know, especially white people who don't know what to do in this moment.

So look, if you're in the locker room and you're getting your nails done or I'm getting my hair done or, you know, you're on the playground or you're on the street or wherever.

Mm-hmm.

And somebody says something, maybe your job, Tom, is just to say, listen, I'm really sorry, but that's not who we are.

That's not how we think.
