Summary
I'd like you to do me a favor on my birthday in honor of her birthday: would every single one of you share today's episode with someone who has never listened. This isn't to promote my show. We're growing just fine. This is because I think today's message is particularly important.
We need everyone to ask themselves, when have they seen enough? #WeveSeenEnough. At some point this week, everyone has seen at least one video of police violence that should have shaken their consciousnesses and made them consider for a moment that the problem in our country has been as Black people have said for many years: the police.
Maybe it was the video of the 75-year-old man who police officers violently pushed to the ground, cracking his head. And did they help? No, the kept walking over his bleeding skull.
Or maybe it was the video of the middle-aged, middle-income white woman in Seattle with her pink biker helmet on being tackled by at least six male police officers. You could see her struggling to cling to her dignity -- pushing herself off the ground. I could imagine her saying in her head, "They will not defeat me. They will not crush me." But in fact, the six men officers did crush her -- one even placed his knee on her neck much like they did #GeorgeFloyd.
Something you saw this week had to have shaken you to the core to make you pause and question your fundamental world view.
Do me a favor, share this video with someone who may be teetering on the edge of considering the possibility that it hasn't been Black people all this time; it has been the brutality of the police.
In this episode, I explain why they have been so brutal to the Black community for generations and why it is they are now extending that cruelty to white America.
