And part of the thing about New Zealand, there's not a lot of black people over there. And so a little bit, it feels like maybe I just go there for a break from just like, maybe there I can sort of, and then gear up and go to Ghana. I don't know.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like... I'm in America. You gotta really... Fuck white people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're like... I'm in America. You gotta really... Fuck white people.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's my name. I mean, I also thought about moving to Hawaii and then helping them become a sovereign nation again. Like, I've got a lot of ideas. Yeah. So, but I do think that America, like, I don't know that America deserves... most of us anymore. And I don't think, I think we have to stop thinking about this country as being a forever thing.

And I think if we thought more like that, not that everybody has the privilege to leave, but I think if we thought, instead of being like, we have to fight for this thing, like, what are we fighting for? And so, but because I have kids and an 87-year-old mom,

And I think if we thought more like that, not that everybody has the privilege to leave, but I think if we thought, instead of being like, we have to fight for this thing, like, what are we fighting for? And so, but because I have kids and an 87-year-old mom,

And I think that even if I was to leave this country, which again, I don't have any plans for this. This is just like, if I was single, I would be more invested in it. But I understand that the work of being a black American doesn't leave just because I leave.

I still sort of am connected to this country and invested in this country and checking in on this country and probably in some way making money off this country. But I just think that the last election really proved that, oh, this country really may not, we may have turned a corner.

But it's not significant enough that people act like it means something. It didn't swing anything. It didn't swing anything, yeah.

But it's not significant enough that people act like it means something. It didn't swing anything. It didn't swing anything, yeah.

Yeah, because most people, no matter their race, don't pay that close attention to politics. Right. So I think we always sort of โ€“ people like me and you are like, oh, did you see what happened?

Yeah, because most people, no matter their race, don't pay that close attention to politics. Right. So I think we always sort of โ€“ people like me and you are like, oh, did you see what happened?

Exactly. And it just sort of comes through the ether. And then somebody they know online says, that's not real. They go, he said it's not real. Or Joe Rogan tells them something. So the idea being that I don't think that most people are paying that close attention. So I can't really โ€“ get mad at them for voting for Trump.

Now, if you're out there hustling for Trump as a black person, that's a different thing. I feel like now you're a grifter. Yes. But I think most people just sort of, like, do you know the day of the election, like, there was a spike in Google of, like, Why isn't Joe Biden on the ballot? Yeah. Yeah.
