Ta-Nehisi Coates

And so when you say that, like, you're kind of not just talking about, you know, the person in front of you, like you're making a bigger, you know, sort of global statement.

And I think that probably was a root of a lot of the anger.

But I don't know, man, like I came back and I understood that I had views that were going to be contrary to a lot of people.

Um, and I was perfectly fine.

I'm here.

I'm here.

You know what I mean?

And I'm not, I'm not here to be fetid.

You know what I mean?

I'm not here to be told how, how great, like I felt when he said that, okay, take it now let's talk.

Let's just say I'm just dude, Ta-Nehisi from West Baltimore.

Okay, now let's have this conversation.

I went where I went.

I saw what I saw.

I'm going to tell you what I saw, and you tell me why that's okay.

I'm good with that.

I'm completely, completely good with that.
