Yo today's QoDS, I refuse to be driven insane by racism.

0:07.0

Here we go.

0:34.0

Welcome back to the QoDS, I'm your host Sean Crox and we got Dr. George Fraser on the show today.

0:43.0

I just discovered Dr. Fraser a few days ago and I was listening to his talk and I'm literally like I said yesterday pounding on my desk.

0:54.0

Yes, yes, just making all kind of noise, this is screaming all kind of stuff because this man's message resonates so much with me and how I feel about racism and racism.

1:09.0

You know, I, there's a big debate going on.

1:13.0

Who's the greatest basketball player of all time?

1:16.0

Is it LeBron James or is it Michael Jordan?

1:20.0

And there's a LeBron camp and there's an MJ camp and the people in will say LeBron camp no matter what I say to them statistically championship wise, whatever endorsements, no matter what I say to them, I will never

2:52.0

If you directed that energy into something productive instead of trying to convert people to think that minorities are good people or whatever it is that you want them to think.

3:03.0

I don't do none of that. I just do my thing, help people. And I love it. It's amazing. It feels way better.

3:13.0

Anyway, I can rant about this all day. Actually, I got more. So check this out. We have these people who go around on TV and to events.
