And I named a couple of guys on the baseball team and we're going to go hunt boar.
voice-verified
They do like boar hunting up there to get a four wheeler, bulldog, the whole thing, real white boy stuff.
voice-verified
And he, I remember he looked at me, he went like with a big smile on his face.
voice-verified
He went, no.
voice-verified
not at all and i was like what i was like you know these guys he's like yeah i know him i know him real well you've been playing ball with him for a long time he's like no way he was amused that i thought that that was something that could ever possibly happen he goes you get 20 21 year old 25 grown man you decide you want to go but he's like i can't let you go up there with them
voice-verified
and when i i was mad about this and i asked my father and my father was like it's not even that they would try to do something is that if something does happen you are the most expendable thing on that trip he was like i gotta worry if they would rather lose a four-wheeler than lose my son and if i have to think about that then you can't go
voice-verified
He goes, I know that if you go with your friends, if you go with people around here that understand us and all of that stuff, I feel safer.
voice-verified
He's like, I'll never feel safe with that.
voice-verified
That's a true story that actually happened.
voice-verified
And that sucks.
voice-verified
That like chokes your freedom.
voice-verified
It makes you think of a certain way of people that you share your community with.
voice-verified
Um,
voice-verified
But it's what his life had told him.
voice-verified
What his life had told him was even if everybody falls, you will be the fall guy.
voice-verified
He was talking about if something goes wrong criminally, certainly if something happens with safety, he just doesn't have that type of investment and faith and sense of safety with people who are non-black.
voice-verified
Man, that sucks to say, but that's real.
voice-verified
And in this situation, it might be everything or it might be nothing.
voice-verified
But the questions that we have to ask always seem to be questions of self-preservation.
voice-verified
Yeah, I think it's generational.
