of people who want to make it impossible for anyone to talk honestly about our history of racial bias. they want to silence anyone who wants to address this past. and that's what happened in the 1950s when you had segregationists punishing anyone who talked about integration. it's what happened after reconstruction, when we punished emancipated black people for trying to exercise their rights. it's what happened during enslavement, when we made it illegal, a capital offence, for someone to advocate for abolition of slavery. and that's the thing, we have to not get distracted by the politics of silencing those who say, "i believe there's a better america waiting for us." and i genuinely believe that. i represent people who commit crimes all the time. i don't believe in crushing those who offend, denigrating those who offend. i believe that we are all more than the worst thing we've ever done, including this country, despite its history. but to get to mutuality, we're going to have to talk about it. right, and you just mentioned politics.
