WELL, LOOK, I THINK, AGAIN, I'M GOING TO TRY TO DO AS GOOD OF A JOB AS I CAN RIGHT NOW.
SO ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT THIS QUESTION AND THIS ENTIRE PERSPECTIVE IS I'VE BEEN IN THIS JOB FOR ALL OF A YEAR.
ABOUT SIX MONTHS AGO, SORRY, A YEAR AND SIX MONTHS AGO, I ASKED THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO GIVE ME THIS JOB THAT I HAVE RIGHT NOW.
WHY DON'T I DO AS GOOD OF A JOB AS I CAN IN THIS JOB?
WE'LL WORRY ABOUT THE NEXT JOB SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE.
But if you were to come in here and instead of being hurt and angry, which is what this court hears, right, as a 20-year-old African-American male that has been, you know, experienced this society, et cetera, and you would show that, yes, okay, this is the situation.
This is who I am.
I don't want to be this person anymore.
I just I really can't.
And there were so many people texting me yesterday on my timeline who told me they were weeping.
And I can't overstate what it means to the Latino community that has seen itself persecuted, attacked, racially profiled.
We have seen for the last year our children dragged through the streets.
We have seen our pregnant women, our elderly dragged through the streets, disappeared and detained.
To have Bad Bunny use that platform...
To say, do not otherize us.
We are all part of America and we are all equal and we all belong.
And love is stronger than hate.
That's the thing.
To have him give that little Grammy, the Grammy to the little boy.
Oh, yeah.
