Yeah, I think I did.
Look, this is what I would say.
I mean, when I think about people and their station in America, I think about accountability.
I think about what happens to you, not when you've lived the perfect life and never erred or never ran afoul of anything.
I think about what happens when you do slip up.
And oftentimes...
And I feel this way when a black person in this country makes a mistake, a minority makes a mistake.
It's proving to people who they always have been.
This is what they really were the whole time.
Meanwhile, with our brothers and sisters that have a little bit more privilege, you see the second and the third and the fourth and the fifth chances.
Trump is exemplary of that.
Like, we watched what happened on January 6th.
We watched the way Trump treats people.
We watched the way Trump comports himself, the things that he says that are not true.
And he just can't do enough to lose the faith of the people who believe in him.
He's insulated by such a wall of privilege that you can't get through to any actual criticism of him.
It's all persecution.
So it's interesting to me that we've come to this point and it's this obvious, but we can't really talk about it lest we be race baiters.
In a lot of ways, Donald Trump is, I should say for a lot of people, Donald Trump is the most crystal clear example of the American dream.
He is somebody who does whatever he wants, no matter who he hurts.
