Hi, this is Alamzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to episode 277 of my podcast, who's paying attention. Wow.

I don't even know where or how to start on this, man. It's only been a week since I talked to you guys.

We have had shootings, riots, obviously the George Lloyd murder I'm going to talk to,

Trump attempting to censor Twitter, not realizing that Twitter is his number one form

of communication, just over 100,000 coronavirus deaths, people partying at the pool and shooting at each other in Daytona Beach.

It's only been a week.

The United States has reopened and it is not going well.

Holy shit.

So in talking about George Lloyd's murder and make no mistake,

this was a murder. I've had, I've had some interesting conversations, particularly white people

asking me about this with genuine concern and

curiosity. I have a friend who he was asking how I felt dealing with the constant barrage of racism,

whether it be the Karen's calling the cops or the cops killing black people

or the bullshit from Trump, et cetera. I have another friend who's Jewish. And interestingly,

the guy's red hair and he says, people look at him and they don't think he's jewish and

they've said some some really stupid and horrible things and we were talking about it you know and

and make no mistake in this resurgence of racism and this public uh racism there has been

no shortage of anti-semit. So we talked some about that.

And I also got a very interesting message on Facebook from a guy in Ireland who was saying

it's a shame watching what's going on in the news. And because Ireland is pretty much a white country, I mean, I've been there,

there's not a lot of people of color.

And he said that.
