And I sort of got to understand that like America is a lot of different things. And I think that like Especially with black people. Most black people in this country live in the South.

Well, there's different versions of it, but there's like in the North, they don't care how high you get as long as you don't get too close. In the South, they don't care how close you get as long as you don't get too high. So the idea being that in the North, you can be a black doctor, but don't move into my neighborhood.

Whereas in the South, they're like, I'd rather you live next to me than be a black doctor. You can move in. Yeah, you can move in. Just don't go to med school. And also, it's a legacy of enslavement. White people in the South are used to black people in a way that white people in the North are not used to black people. Still getting used to it. Still working it out 140 years later. I don't know.

This is a thing I learned because I was working on projects about schools. Overwhelmingly integration went better in the south than it went in places like Boston. Why? Because black and white people in the South are more used to being around each other. Right. So there certainly are stories, but just generally, it went way worse in Boston than it went in lots of places.

Sure, yeah. No, I'm not talking about violent. Certainly there's a legacy of lynchings in the South. But in the North, they weren't lynchings. They were just police brutality. So it just is a different name.

Glad we started with the fun stuff. God bless. God bless.

I hope it works better for you.

That wasn't my catchphrase. White atheism, is it? You must be a white atheist. But no, I remember that because For some reason, yeah, I remember when you got to me, I was just like, in my mind, why would I say no? What would I be holding on to if I said no to this thing that is already out in the world? The only thing I was worried about is if somebody sees it and thinks you stole it.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, but other than that, I was like, you know. I'm a big understander in parallel thinking. Yeah, that's the thing.

Yeah, I know. Yeah, but other than that, I was like, you know. I'm a big understander in parallel thinking. Yeah, that's the thing.

Now if you're like, I have this joke about your daughter. Wait a minute. But no, I just think that like, and also I think it's also about the fact that, I remember that emo Phillips thing. If you have a thousand jokes and somebody steals three, Well, you still got like 997 jokes. But if you have three jokes and somebody steals one, who the hell would you try to make it with three jokes? Yeah.
