I know.
Thanks.
So I want to tell you that first.
Well, thank you.
It should be the baseline for everyone.
I agree.
It makes me feel so awkward because I genuinely believe, I'm like, if my job as a lawyer, like everyone's job as a lawyer, is to go to court and argue for their clients, how is it not part of our job that we make it a better profession, that we make it a better field, that we make it safer for someone else, that we...
put our neck out where maybe another person couldn't because I'm a white woman and I know that the color of my skin is going to make a difference in whether I can say something or not whether I can threaten my job or not and and so for people who want to come into this field who are part of those communities that this field does not represent absolutely or are not represented by you know only five percent of all attorneys in the U.S.
are black which is crazy because 38.7 percent of our incarcerated population is black because of inherent racism period and prejudice period yeah
And and so, you know, I always tell people I would want if I were in a situation and anyone could be of being on the other side of of a courtroom.
That's not the good side.
Right.
The side where you're being accused of something.
And in this day and age, police are legally allowed to lie to you, legally allowed to do anything but their jobs.
You'd be surprised.
well i don't do anything wrong there are people who are in prison right now who did nothing wrong and that's how that that's how that works um but you know if i were ever in that situation or if if you or anyone were ever in that situation wouldn't you want to be represented by someone who looks like you who comes from your culture who understands you and your neighborhood
and your background.
And yeah, of course there are going to be white people who are the good ones who, you know, hopefully if I represent someone who doesn't look like me and I have obviously that I do my best to represent their interests, like any great advocate would, but God, it's the same thing as like going to the OBGYN.
I know there are good male ones.
I want a woman.
