- Malcolm: And it's a lot of people that will swear up and down that like racism or like, you know, acts of violence towards a specific community just don't exist. Like and there are people that that just think that this stuff just does not exist. It's just not real. And they live in a very, very, very narrow ⁓ bubble ⁓ of of what actually is real life. And so it is hard to hear, it also just as important for like people to know that this still happens. ⁓ And it's like Everything noise. Thomas: No, no, I no I don't I don't have put Malcolm: I thought she was about to Okay, I thought she was about to click the soundboard. Actually like like bro, like like people think that this isn't like that this is stopped happening when slavery was abolished. This didn't stop. This never stopped. And it's like anyone that thinks that that racism or like these like heinous acts of of of just deliberate like violence aren't a thing in America anymore, you are very like ignorant. and and and and and ill informed. ⁓ and it's like these things the problem is that like these the th people don't think it happens because it doesn't get the same national coverage. It doesn't hit the same national news lines or or headlines ⁓ as a lot of other, you know, pressing topics. But I think that this is just important as any of those. And until people like, you know, I hope people that do continue to spread the word and and push them out to to feeds and places where people get their information from more now. So which is probably social media. ⁓ I'm sure most people get their new more more of their news now from Instagram and Twitter than they do from actually turning on APC, CNN, Fox, whatever. so I hope that these stories and these names are continued to like be shared and that they aren't forgotten. ⁓ 'cause when you forget about these names, that's when people begin to think that like it never happened in the first place. So ⁓ I hope, you know, each of those people on that list and and everyone that wasn't a name is just, you know, able to rest in peace. ⁓ and the families are able to get justice for the people that did do it. But Yeah, bro, like anyone that thinks that this isn't like a still the thing, you lost. And ⁓ you know, I hope I hope people those people like, you know, that were that were ended in a way that that no human should have to. that their family's able to like just find some type of peace or and and and and and and get just they deserve. But ⁓ yeah, I hope I hope folks just realize like this isn't this didn't stop when when when on on Juneteenth this is this never stop. So ⁓ yeah. Thomas: It never ended. They they've been killing us on camera for forever. And as long as cameras been around, they've been killing us on them. They've been killing us in this country been and people think this stuff is crazy. Like it's like it we've been cannibalized, turned into any sofa shoes, anything you can think of, bro. It's happened. And anyone who argues against that. Malcolm: Sophas. Thomas: I have to be concerned that you you are a part of the problem. Because why why are you arguing against that? Why are you asking for facts? Like being black in America, being like especially being brought here, it's like we're forced to be here. A lot of us the only place that we we know, only culture we know. And you can't even exist here freely. And then people bring up one example of of another case. Malcolm: Yeah.
