I was a black man for a day in New York City and it was an experience.

I went to the Bat Room many times.

I went to a bar.

I rode the train.

I rode the train to and from the city and within the city limits.

I did communicate with y'alls and I got to say that racism is alive and well today.

As a black man in America, in New York City, I experienced a level of seething hatred

that was below the surface everywhere I go, everywhere I went, everywhere I was.

And it's something you just have to get through as a black man and I will explain this to

my kids, my children, that they have to be aware of this, they have to be aware that

when they meet the police, they can die.

They can get shot going for a drive and they have to know that.

I'm going to tell my sons that they have to do twice as well as anyone else in order

just to be the same.

So you want to be a lawyer, you better be the best lawyer in that class.

And even then a policeman could come and kill you on your way to the job interview.

You can never relax, you always got that soul to devil clease hanging over your head.

And that's something that I experienced.

And a lot of white people, they don't understand, they can never understand.

They can't speak to this because it's something they will never understand.

And I did this and I just, what I did in my mind, in my conscious mind was I just recorded

a day.
