0:00.0	This is Karen Hunter and show, this video that I
0:17.9	reposted from To Be Black is Lit. It is a video of a lion coming up on two what looks like gazelle's fighting and the
0:30.1	caption is as long as we're fighting our own, we won't see the real enemy.
0:34.1	Now, so when you look at the video and it's pretty scary, you don't see the lion, right?

2:10.9	there that wasn't what you set forth to do that day. You had a list of ten things
2:15.1	you wanted to get done. I'm sure among your ten items was not to go down a rabbit hole on
