It doesn't happen.

And so it's because, so my feeling is like, we, you know, we have, politicians only exist to be pushed into the right forms and functions.

Even if you support them 99% of the time, there's gonna be 1% of the time you're gonna be like, hey, and look, my mayor's Barbara Lee.

I don't know when she's been on the wrong side of history, but when she is eventually, like, I will be there to say, hey, Barbara, I need you to.

So, but I think that like, we really, we, so many of us,

We're so scared that we're looking for a hero instead of looking at ourselves and going, what can I do?

So you want Newsom to handle it and hope that he just handles it and takes care of it so you can get back to Pilates.

And I'm saying like, hey, maybe you can have an anti-racism Pilates session and figure out what that is.

I'm not telling you not to do your Pilates instead of just hoping that Newsom is the hero that we've always wanted when no politician is.

As my mom used to say or says, the only thing you can trust less than a politician who doesn't want your vote is a politician who wants your vote.

it's easier to deal with the politician who doesn't want your vote because you kind of know what that guy's going to do but the politician who wants your vote might say anything

I jumped up.

For all the smart Negroes who were bullied, I'm here for you.

I would say if you're afraid to say something wrong, I would first say you need to do an audit of your friend group and see who you're surrounding yourself with that you can't be honest with who you are sitting near and who you are regularly in conversation with.

So it doesn't mean that I don't think I'm going to say something wrong, but I feel like if I do, I am surrounded by people who want to go, hey, come out, come here for a second.

And

And they're going to do it with love unless I keep doing it, unless I keep saying it.

You know what I mean?

They're going to, you know, it's Adrian Brown taught me the difference between calling in and calling out.

They're going to call me in.
