1
00:00:01,544 --> 00:00:03,807
Back in the day,
you didn't know all that much
2
00:00:03,850 --> 00:00:05,374
about people around you --
3
00:00:05,417 --> 00:00:09,117
your co-workers, acquaintances, your mailman.
4
00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:12,990
Most people were strangers
who lived a life of mystery,
5
00:00:13,034 --> 00:00:15,819
because there was a thing
called privacy.
6
00:00:15,862 --> 00:00:19,083
But since the explosion
of social media,
7
00:00:19,127 --> 00:00:23,348
everyone knows everything
about everybody.
8
00:00:23,392 --> 00:00:25,959
And in these
politically divided times,
9
00:00:26,003 --> 00:00:29,398
this onslaught of social media
means
10
00:00:29,441 --> 00:00:33,750
we know everyone's thoughts
on every single issue.
11
00:00:33,793 --> 00:00:36,448
That can really change
your perception of a person.
12
00:00:36,492 --> 00:00:39,234
Take Bow's cousin Gary,
for example.
13
00:00:39,277 --> 00:00:41,540
I knew he lived
somewhere in L.A.
14
00:00:41,584 --> 00:00:44,108
and thought you should
go for it on fourth and 1.
15
00:00:44,152 --> 00:00:48,721
But social media introduced me
to a whole other side of Gary.
16
00:00:48,765 --> 00:00:50,506
That's where I found out he was
17
00:00:50,549 --> 00:00:54,118
BLM's newest, whitest ally.
18
00:00:54,162 --> 00:00:57,730
So, with George Floyd's murder
and the uprisings,
19
00:00:57,774 --> 00:01:00,168
I guess I shouldn't have been
surprised when this happened.
20
00:01:02,126 --> 00:01:03,475
Hey, Gary!
21
00:01:03,519 --> 00:01:05,260
I've been waiting
on this call, man.
22
00:01:05,303 --> 00:01:06,783
When is the fantasy draft?
23
00:01:06,826 --> 00:01:08,350
What are you talking
about football, man?
24
00:01:08,393 --> 00:01:09,829
Turn on the news.
25
00:01:09,873 --> 00:01:12,267
America doesn't care
about Black people, okay?
26
00:01:12,310 --> 00:01:20,101
We need to make a change ASAP,
and you need to help me.
27
00:01:20,144 --> 00:01:21,754
Hey, man,
I'm sorry to call again,
28
00:01:21,798 --> 00:01:23,713
but Bow isn't picking up,
and I just got to say
29
00:01:23,756 --> 00:01:25,628
this country isso behind.
30
00:01:25,671 --> 00:01:28,065
It feels like the '80s.
Or the '60s.
31
00:01:28,109 --> 00:01:29,849
Whichever decade
is the most racist.
32
00:01:29,893 --> 00:01:31,242
Call me back.
This is Gary.
33
00:01:31,286 --> 00:01:34,724
Yeah. Mm-hmm. This is
the sixth one that he left me.
34
00:01:34,767 --> 00:01:36,073
Mm-hmm.
35
00:01:36,117 --> 00:01:38,162
Bow, our relationshipisn't meant to handle this.
36
00:01:38,206 --> 00:01:40,121
The only timeI should see Gary cry is
37
00:01:40,164 --> 00:01:43,428
when they're reuniting a soldierwith a dog at halftime.
38
00:01:43,472 --> 00:01:47,519
Gary has been emotional
his entire life.
39
00:01:47,563 --> 00:01:50,653
He cried four times
during the movie "Face/Off."
40
00:01:50,696 --> 00:01:52,872
That's why I don't answer
any of his calls.
41
00:01:52,916 --> 00:01:54,396
Eh, ah, uh, Bow...
42
00:01:54,439 --> 00:01:57,050
I feel that White people arelosing their mind, all right?
43
00:01:57,094 --> 00:01:58,965
They've all
been reaching out
44
00:01:59,009 --> 00:02:01,620
because some meme told themto check on their Black friends.
45
00:02:01,664 --> 00:02:03,231
Oh, I know.
46
00:02:03,274 --> 00:02:04,580
I know, Dre.
47
00:02:04,623 --> 00:02:06,190
Hmm?
48
00:02:06,234 --> 00:02:08,192
Listen.
49
00:02:08,236 --> 00:02:11,195
What happened to Americ--
50
00:02:11,239 --> 00:02:14,024
[ Cellphone beeps ]Woman #
I just feel so terrible
about my own privilege.
51
00:02:14,067 --> 00:02:15,982
If you want to skip tennis -
52
00:02:16,026 --> 00:02:18,855
Woman #
I think my daughter needs a
Black hero right now, and I --
53
00:02:18,898 --> 00:02:20,465
Okay. Okay. Okay.
Enough.
54
00:02:20,509 --> 00:02:22,206
None of those people
are my friends.
55
00:02:22,250 --> 00:02:23,294
Not a one.
56
00:02:23,338 --> 00:02:24,861
And that last woman --
57
00:02:24,904 --> 00:02:27,124
she's just someone
who found my wallet in 2005.
58
00:02:27,168 --> 00:02:28,343
That's crazy.
59
00:02:28,386 --> 00:02:29,909
Bow, you know what?
60
00:02:29,953 --> 00:02:32,912
I feel that the people who arecalling are drowning in guilt
61
00:02:32,956 --> 00:02:35,828
and are lookingfor a Black life preserver.
62
00:02:35,872 --> 00:02:38,744
But I didn't expect that
from Gary!
63
00:02:38,788 --> 00:02:40,355
The best thing
that you can do here
64
00:02:40,398 --> 00:02:42,357
is pretend that this call
never happened.
65
00:02:42,400 --> 00:02:43,445
Mm.
66
00:02:43,488 --> 00:02:45,229
It's Gary. All right?
67
00:02:45,273 --> 00:02:46,578
So in a few weeks,
68
00:02:46,622 --> 00:02:48,754
when "The Great British
Bake Off" comes back on,
69
00:02:48,798 --> 00:02:51,192
he will forget
that Black lives ever mattered.
70
00:02:51,235 --> 00:02:52,454
Yeah,you're probably right.
71
00:02:52,497 --> 00:02:53,455
Mm-hmm.
72
00:02:53,498 --> 00:02:54,891
I'll delete them.
Yeah.
73
00:02:54,934 --> 00:02:57,981
Maybe it'll all go awayon its own,
74
00:02:58,024 --> 00:03:01,680
just like a jury summonsor a red light ticket.
75
00:03:01,724 --> 00:03:02,942
Pshh.
76
00:03:02,986 --> 00:03:04,901
Oh! Look at this.
77
00:03:04,944 --> 00:03:08,905
CVS is alerting us
that Black lives matter
78
00:03:08,948 --> 00:03:12,343
andthere is 20% off
of all Tussin.
79
00:03:12,387 --> 00:03:13,779
Oh.
80
00:03:16,260 --> 00:03:17,435
Babe, you are so sweet
81
00:03:17,479 --> 00:03:19,089
for helping me
with my psych homework.
82
00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:20,395
I don't mind at all.
83
00:03:20,438 --> 00:03:23,006
I feel like psychologistsare real doctors.
84
00:03:23,049 --> 00:03:24,181
I don't care
what my mom says.
85
00:03:25,835 --> 00:03:27,010
Oh, no.
86
00:03:27,053 --> 00:03:29,142
Jack, we have talked
about this.
87
00:03:29,186 --> 00:03:30,709
It is hot
when it comes out.
88
00:03:30,753 --> 00:03:32,363
No, no, no.
I-I chipped the icing.
89
00:03:32,407 --> 00:03:34,104
Well, it's still
gonna taste the same.
90
00:03:34,147 --> 00:03:36,149
It's not for me.
It's for Diane.
91
00:03:36,193 --> 00:03:39,152
She places a high value on the
aesthetic of the toaster pasty.
92
00:03:39,196 --> 00:03:40,763
Well, if she's
that particular,
93
00:03:40,806 --> 00:03:43,026
wouldn't it just be easier
for her to make it herself?
94
00:03:46,029 --> 00:03:47,770
Junior, school your girl.
95
00:03:47,813 --> 00:03:50,207
She's clearly never been on the
business end of Diane's wrath.
96
00:03:50,251 --> 00:03:52,514
Mnh-mnh.
97
00:03:52,557 --> 00:03:54,255
Whoa, Junior.
98
00:03:54,298 --> 00:03:56,909
Your brother is acting out
this theory in my textbook.
99
00:03:56,953 --> 00:03:59,042
[ Toaster clicks ]Jack clearly has
100
00:03:59,085 --> 00:04:01,392
what the book calls
a fearful attachment.
101
00:04:01,436 --> 00:04:04,221
He will do anything
to make his twin sister happy.
102
00:04:04,265 --> 00:04:06,354
Wow.
That does make sense.
103
00:04:06,397 --> 00:04:08,530
You know, one time,
Diane got the flu,
104
00:04:08,573 --> 00:04:10,662
and Jack immediately
tried to register
105
00:04:10,706 --> 00:04:11,750
[ Toaster pops ]to be an organ donor.
106
00:04:11,794 --> 00:04:14,231
Ah.
107
00:04:14,275 --> 00:04:17,974
You know, Jack, just because
you love your sister
108
00:04:18,017 --> 00:04:20,498
doesn't mean you got to burn
your fingerprints off for her.
109
00:04:20,542 --> 00:04:22,152
If you ever want to talk
about ways
110
00:04:22,195 --> 00:04:24,197
to assert yourself
in your relationship
111
00:04:24,241 --> 00:04:26,809
and break free
from your fear of rejection,
112
00:04:26,852 --> 00:04:27,810
I'm here.
113
00:04:27,853 --> 00:04:29,333
I'll think about it.
114
00:04:29,377 --> 00:04:30,378
Whoa! Whoa!
115
00:04:30,421 --> 00:04:31,727
Jack,
you should feel lucky
116
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:34,425
that Olivia has blessed you
with this knowledge.
117
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:37,428
You know, some day, Mom is gonna
spend hundreds of dollars
118
00:04:37,472 --> 00:04:39,082
for you to get
this same kind of therapy.
119
00:04:39,125 --> 00:04:40,692
Good.
120
00:04:40,736 --> 00:04:42,999
Because I saw Grandma
changing for the pool once,
121
00:04:43,042 --> 00:04:44,740
and it really
messed me up.
122
00:04:44,783 --> 00:04:46,698
Ugh.
123
00:04:46,742 --> 00:04:50,006
Even though Bow told me
to ignore Gary,
124
00:04:50,049 --> 00:04:52,574
it didn't seem like he was
going to let me do that.
125
00:04:52,617 --> 00:04:54,532
Hold everything.
Dre's got a problem.
126
00:04:54,576 --> 00:04:57,230
My money is on
bad credit score.
127
00:04:57,274 --> 00:04:58,449
No.

Bow's White cousin Gary --
129
00:05:00,712 --> 00:05:01,887
he wants to talk to me
about race.
130
00:05:03,106 --> 00:05:04,455
How is that a problem
for you?
131
00:05:04,499 --> 00:05:07,066
Yeah, you talk so much
about race, Dre,
132
00:05:07,110 --> 00:05:10,113
I watch "American History X"
totally differently now.
133
00:05:10,156 --> 00:05:11,767
I don't talk about it
that much.
134
00:05:13,508 --> 00:05:16,859
You talk about race so much,
we basically owe you tuition.
135
00:05:16,902 --> 00:05:19,427
Dre, I thought Rodney King was
King of South L.A. real estate
136
00:05:19,470 --> 00:05:20,732
until I met you.
137
00:05:20,776 --> 00:05:23,692
Because of you, Dre,

Yes, Dre,

And because of you,
142
00:05:31,917 --> 00:05:35,094
I didn't assume that he wanted
fried chicken for dinner.
143
00:05:35,138 --> 00:05:39,098
Well, you know,
now that I think about it...
144
00:05:39,142 --> 00:05:41,971
Gary didn't call
just anyBlack friend.
145
00:05:42,014 --> 00:05:43,842
No, he did not.He called the...
146
00:05:43,886 --> 00:05:45,366
Yep.
...Black friend.
147
00:05:45,409 --> 00:05:46,715
You're damn right.
148
00:05:46,758 --> 00:05:48,673
You know, he needs me.
It's time I answer his call.
149
00:05:48,717 --> 00:05:49,413
Yeah.
150
00:05:49,457 --> 00:05:50,762
Feel that, Dre?
151
00:05:50,806 --> 00:05:51,763
What?
152
00:05:51,807 --> 00:05:52,982
Come on.
153
00:05:53,025 --> 00:05:54,897
That's progress.
154
00:05:54,940 --> 00:05:58,683
Thisis the dream
Rodney King was talking about.
155
00:05:58,727 --> 00:06:00,424
The guys were right.
156
00:06:00,468 --> 00:06:02,121
I had to take advantage
157
00:06:02,165 --> 00:06:05,516
of the opportunity
to build a better White man.
158
00:06:05,560 --> 00:06:06,778
Gary!
159
00:06:06,822 --> 00:06:08,171
Hey, man. Oh.
160
00:06:08,214 --> 00:06:10,173
Hey, thanks for being down
to talk.
161
00:06:10,216 --> 00:06:12,958
Hey. Well, you know what?
You picked the right person.
162
00:06:13,002 --> 00:06:15,570
I am excited
to be your race master.
163

Lesson number one --
let's lose the word "master."
164
00:06:19,530 --> 00:06:21,271
It gets weird real quick.
165
00:06:24,666 --> 00:06:27,233
Like a lot of White people,
it turned out Gary had a ton
166
00:06:27,277 --> 00:06:28,887
that he wanted
to get off his chest
167
00:06:28,931 --> 00:06:30,323
to his Black friend.
168
00:06:30,367 --> 00:06:32,195
I guess
just since the uprisings,
169
00:06:32,238 --> 00:06:35,633
I've felt very lost
and discouraged
170
00:06:35,677 --> 00:06:38,201
that I haven't done
my fair share
171
00:06:38,244 --> 00:06:41,422
of really trying to understand
the Black experience,
172
00:06:41,465 --> 00:06:42,945
and I just want
to do better.
173
00:06:42,988 --> 00:06:44,555
Mm.
174
00:06:44,599 --> 00:06:47,776
So, that...
is just the first step.
175
00:06:47,819 --> 00:06:49,212
Yeah.
176
00:06:49,255 --> 00:06:51,257
What if I were to give you
an opportunity
177
00:06:51,301 --> 00:06:53,477
to learn more
about the Black experience?
178
00:06:53,521 --> 00:06:55,218
Yes.
179
00:06:55,261 --> 00:06:56,480
Ask me anything.
180
00:06:56,524 --> 00:06:57,525
Anything?
181
00:06:57,568 --> 00:06:59,962
Yes. Anything.
No question is dumb.
182
00:07:00,005 --> 00:07:01,050
Great.
183
00:07:01,093 --> 00:07:03,139
Um...what is Bruno Mars?
184
00:07:03,182 --> 00:07:04,053
He's Black, right?
185
00:07:06,490 --> 00:07:08,144
That's...your question?
186
00:07:08,187 --> 00:07:09,537
I don't know, man!
I froze!
187
00:07:09,580 --> 00:07:11,321
This whole thing
feels like a setup.
188
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:13,149
No, no, no.
It's -- It's not. Honestly.
189
00:07:13,192 --> 00:07:15,107
You're --
Gary, ask me anything, man.
190
00:07:15,151 --> 00:07:17,022
Just ask. Anything!
191
00:07:17,066 --> 00:07:19,285
If I'm singing alongto a rap song...
Mm-hmm.
192
00:07:19,329 --> 00:07:22,071
...and they say the N-word,
do I just go silent,
193
00:07:22,114 --> 00:07:24,987
or can I say..."ninja"?
194
00:07:26,771 --> 00:07:28,251
Wh-- You almost
had me there, Gary.
195
00:07:28,294 --> 00:07:31,472
Uh...you know,
I-I-I think it's safe to say
196
00:07:31,515 --> 00:07:34,344
that you should never
sing along to a rap song.
197
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:35,388
Ever.
198
00:07:35,432 --> 00:07:36,389
But what about Macklemore?
199
00:07:36,433 --> 00:07:37,956

So, that's how redlining
229
00:08:51,464 --> 00:08:54,859
prevented Black people
from even participating
230
00:08:54,903 --> 00:08:58,646
in the greatest accumulation
of wealth in American history?
231
00:08:58,689 --> 00:08:59,995
That's right.
232
00:09:00,038 --> 00:09:01,692
See, they didn't teach us that
in school.
233
00:09:01,736 --> 00:09:02,998
Ha!
They taught us
234
00:09:03,041 --> 00:09:06,349
that every American had
the same opportunity.
235
00:09:06,392 --> 00:09:09,265
Well, that's what
they wanted you to think.
236
00:09:09,308 --> 00:09:11,049
Because if Black people
were responsible
237
00:09:11,093 --> 00:09:12,616
for our own oppression,
238
00:09:12,660 --> 00:09:16,011
then that would make it easier
to reinforce the narrative
239
00:09:16,054 --> 00:09:18,491
of White success
and Black failure.
240
00:09:18,535 --> 00:09:21,233
And if our failure
was ourfault,
241
00:09:21,277 --> 00:09:22,887
then White people
wouldn't have any responsibility
242
00:09:22,931 --> 00:09:23,888
to make change.
243
00:09:23,932 --> 00:09:25,542
I hear you, man.
244
00:09:25,586 --> 00:09:28,153
And I got to say, I want to be
responsible, you know?
245
00:09:28,197 --> 00:09:30,242
I want to do something.
Okay.
246
00:09:30,286 --> 00:09:33,898
Well, these books can explain it
a whole lot better than I can.
247
00:09:33,942 --> 00:09:36,640
If you want to put in the work,
that's a great place to start.
248
00:09:36,684 --> 00:09:38,337
Thanks, man.
Can't wait to read.
249
00:09:38,381 --> 00:09:39,643
All right.
250
00:09:39,687 --> 00:09:41,819
Hey, good luck
on your journey, grasshopper.
251
00:09:41,863 --> 00:09:43,560
All right.
252
00:09:43,604 --> 00:09:44,692
Oh!
Uh, one more thing.
253
00:09:44,735 --> 00:09:45,780
Yeah?
254
00:09:45,823 --> 00:09:47,564
Is it weird
to like "Hamilton"?
255
00:09:47,608 --> 00:09:49,740
Our future's at stake,
Gary.
256
00:09:49,784 --> 00:09:51,786
We don't have time
for non-"Wiz" musicals.
257
00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:53,439
Right.
All right?
258
00:09:53,483 --> 00:09:56,399
Now, ease on down that road.
259
00:10:00,838 --> 00:10:02,753
Hey, Olivia.
260
00:10:02,797 --> 00:10:05,016
Once I started thinking
about what you said about Diane,
261
00:10:05,060 --> 00:10:06,104
it made a lot of sense.
262
00:10:06,148 --> 00:10:07,932
I came up with
a lot of grievances.
263
00:10:07,976 --> 00:10:09,717
And once I got going,
it didn't stop.
264
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:11,109
Good job.Wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.
265
00:10:11,153 --> 00:10:13,938
All of this...
is about Diane?
266
00:10:13,982 --> 00:10:14,852
Mm-hmm.
267
00:10:16,506 --> 00:10:18,073
You're not planning
on giving this to her, are you?
268
00:10:18,116 --> 00:10:20,249
No, no, no, no, no.
This is great progress, Jack.
269
00:10:20,292 --> 00:10:22,120
You've identified
your issues.
270
00:10:22,164 --> 00:10:23,513
Now you just
got to find the time
271
00:10:23,556 --> 00:10:25,384
where you can both
look each other in the eye
272
00:10:25,428 --> 00:10:26,951
and you tell her
what's bothering you.
273
00:10:26,995 --> 00:10:28,387
Good job.
274
00:10:28,431 --> 00:10:31,434
Ornow that you have gotten
your feelings
275
00:10:31,477 --> 00:10:33,828
out of your body
and onto this paper,
276
00:10:33,871 --> 00:10:35,656
you can burn it.
277
00:10:35,699 --> 00:10:39,572
That way,
no one ever gets to read it,
278
00:10:39,616 --> 00:10:43,402
and no one will ever punish you
for writing it.
279
00:10:43,446 --> 00:10:45,404
Ooh, that reminds me
of what she said
280
00:10:45,448 --> 00:10:47,189
when I tried to wear
that fedora.
281
00:10:47,232 --> 00:10:48,538
Let me see.
Wh--
282
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:51,062
Be right back.
I need more paper.
283
00:10:51,106 --> 00:10:52,585
Wh--
284
00:10:52,629 --> 00:10:53,848
Isn't this great?
285
00:10:53,891 --> 00:10:56,633
Jack's gonna heal
his attachment issues.
286
00:10:56,677 --> 00:10:58,591
Oh, I feel really good
about this.
287
00:10:59,984 --> 00:11:03,292
H-Hey, babe, you know I --
I love when you feel good,
288
00:11:03,335 --> 00:11:05,773
but, um...
I feel like maybe
289
00:11:05,816 --> 00:11:08,732
you don't know Diane well enough
to give this kind of advice.
290
00:11:08,776 --> 00:11:09,733
You know?
291
00:11:09,777 --> 00:11:11,082
Oh, really?
292
00:11:11,126 --> 00:11:12,431
Um...
293
00:11:12,475 --> 00:11:13,998
I see what's going on here.
294
00:11:14,042 --> 00:11:15,739
You want to protect Jack,
295
00:11:15,783 --> 00:11:17,959
but you're also worried
about hurting myfeelings.
296
00:11:18,916 --> 00:11:20,831
Textbook anxious attachment.
297
00:11:20,875 --> 00:11:22,746
You have abandonment issues.
298
00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:24,705
What?
No, I don't.
299
00:11:24,748 --> 00:11:27,272
You're so terrified
you'll say or do
the wrong thing,
300
00:11:27,316 --> 00:11:28,752
you try to keep me happy,
301
00:11:28,796 --> 00:11:31,363
even if that means
not standing up for yourself.
302
00:11:31,407 --> 00:11:34,105
What?
Okay, that is ridiculous.
303
00:11:36,020 --> 00:11:37,674
Maybe "ridiculous"
is too harsh a word.
304
00:11:37,718 --> 00:11:38,762
What do you think?
305
00:11:40,068 --> 00:11:42,026
I am gonna get a book
out of this family.
306
00:11:42,070 --> 00:11:43,854
And I will buy it.
307
00:11:46,596 --> 00:11:50,339
I had done it.
I had molded a squishy mind.
308
00:11:50,382 --> 00:11:55,083
And I knew that, thanks to me,
Gary was going to be an ally.
309
00:11:55,126 --> 00:11:57,563
You and Gary were up late
last night.
310
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:01,872
Your cousin and I had
an excellent conversation.
311
00:12:01,916 --> 00:12:03,569
Did ya?
Yes.
312
00:12:03,613 --> 00:12:07,182
I led a horse to water,
and I taught him how to fish.
313
00:12:07,225 --> 00:12:09,532
I am pretty sure
that you can't cure
314
00:12:09,575 --> 00:12:11,969
40 years of racist conditioning
in one night.
315
00:12:12,013 --> 00:12:14,798
Bow, Bow, Bow.
316
00:12:14,842 --> 00:12:17,670
This is just like the Magic Eye
all over again.
317
00:12:17,714 --> 00:12:18,584
No.
318
00:12:18,628 --> 00:12:20,282
Just because
you can't see it
319
00:12:20,325 --> 00:12:21,805
doesn't mean
it's not there.
320
00:12:21,849 --> 00:12:23,154
That was
a defective painting.
321
00:12:23,198 --> 00:12:24,852
Ha!
And you need to trust me.
322
00:12:24,895 --> 00:12:27,724
I grew up
in a mixed family.
323
00:12:27,768 --> 00:12:31,772
And my cousins and I had
these conversations about Reagan
324
00:12:31,815 --> 00:12:33,295
all those years ago,
325
00:12:33,338 --> 00:12:35,819
the same way
you're having them now.
326
00:12:35,863 --> 00:12:39,954
This is never ending,
and it is not yours to fix.
327
00:12:39,997 --> 00:12:41,607
I don't mind, Bow.
328
00:12:41,651 --> 00:12:42,957
It's what I do.
329
00:12:43,000 --> 00:12:44,001
It's w--
330
00:12:44,045 --> 00:12:45,089
Stevens.
331
00:12:45,133 --> 00:12:46,308
Josh.
332
00:12:46,351 --> 00:12:47,700
Oh, my God.
333
00:12:47,744 --> 00:12:48,919
Gary.
334
00:12:50,660 --> 00:12:52,880
Give me enough time,
and I can convert
335
00:12:52,923 --> 00:12:55,621
any AM radio host
in this country.
336
00:12:55,665 --> 00:12:56,709
Huh.
337
00:12:56,753 --> 00:12:57,754
Watch.
338
00:13:00,148 --> 00:13:04,021
I can't believe I was ever
attracted to this side of you!
339
00:13:07,285 --> 00:13:09,635
Hey, Gary. My man.
What's up?
340
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,681
Dre, we need to talk.
341
00:13:11,724 --> 00:13:13,117
Uh...
342
00:13:13,161 --> 00:13:15,772
Hey, d-does it have to be
right now?
343
00:13:15,816 --> 00:13:17,861
You know, I'm, uh,
I'm taking care of the baby.
344
00:13:17,905 --> 00:13:18,862
Can I please come over?
345
00:13:18,906 --> 00:13:21,038
Sure. Why not?
346
00:13:21,082 --> 00:13:23,127
Good, 'cause I'm outside right now.
347
00:13:23,171 --> 00:13:24,825
What?
348
00:13:24,868 --> 00:13:27,305
Did you know that right now,
as we speak,
349
00:13:27,349 --> 00:13:30,439
White gentrifiers are moving
into Black communities?
350
00:13:30,482 --> 00:13:32,484
Okay, and starting
their own charter schools,
351
00:13:32,528 --> 00:13:34,617
which takes away the funding
from the public schools
352
00:13:34,660 --> 00:13:36,358
that everybody else
has to go to?
353
00:13:36,401 --> 00:13:37,925
So that leaves
the Black schools
354
00:13:37,968 --> 00:13:39,883
completely understaffed
and underfunded.
355
00:13:39,927 --> 00:13:40,797
It's terrible.
356
00:13:40,841 --> 00:13:42,755
You are totally right,
Gary,
357
00:13:42,799 --> 00:13:44,366
and I agree with you.
358
00:13:44,409 --> 00:13:46,194
So, tell me this --
what's your plan?
359
00:13:46,237 --> 00:13:47,891
Ha.
I'm glad you asked.
360
00:13:47,935 --> 00:13:49,675
First of all,
I'm starting a parents' group.
361
00:13:49,719 --> 00:13:52,243
We're gonna write letters
and make calls every day
362
00:13:52,287 --> 00:13:53,897
to politicians.
Okay.
363
00:13:53,941 --> 00:13:56,465
And I think I can also organize
a Zoom fundraising concert
364
00:13:56,508 --> 00:13:58,554
with the bassist
from The Goo Goo Dolls.
365
00:13:58,597 --> 00:14:00,338
He's a friend
of a friend.
Okay.
366
00:14:00,382 --> 00:14:01,600
I don't know if --
Okay. Okay.
367
00:14:01,644 --> 00:14:04,255
Gary,
let me ask you this --
368
00:14:04,299 --> 00:14:06,823
are you putting your kids
in public school?
369
00:14:06,867 --> 00:14:09,173
Well,
great question.
370
00:14:09,217 --> 00:14:11,088
And we are considering it.
371
00:14:11,132 --> 00:14:12,524
I haven't talked to Jennifer
about it,
372
00:14:12,568 --> 00:14:13,917
but it is on the table.
373
00:14:13,961 --> 00:14:18,487
Are...you...sending your kids
to public school?
374
00:14:18,530 --> 00:14:20,097
I mean, I wish I could.
375
00:14:20,141 --> 00:14:21,838
The school
that we're zoned for,
376
00:14:21,882 --> 00:14:23,927
the -- the testing scores there
are not great, so --
377
00:14:23,971 --> 00:14:25,711
Okay. Gary, let me --
let me get this straight.
378
00:14:25,755 --> 00:14:28,236
So, you want to topple
the system...
Yes.
379
00:14:28,279 --> 00:14:31,152
...but you're not willing to do
the one thing that you cando?
380
00:14:31,195 --> 00:14:34,807
I hear ya, but why do my kids
have to be the guinea pigs?
381
00:14:34,851 --> 00:14:36,461
I mean, yourkids don't go
to public school.
382
00:14:36,505 --> 00:14:38,942
That's the whole thing!
383
00:14:38,986 --> 00:14:41,379
When White kids go
to these schools,
384
00:14:41,423 --> 00:14:43,642
they suddenly find
resources!
385
00:14:43,686 --> 00:14:46,558
But my Black kids going there
doesn't change a thing.
386
00:14:46,602 --> 00:14:48,734
So if you're not willing
to do that,
387
00:14:48,778 --> 00:14:51,128
you know, there's not much that
we really need to talk about.
388
00:14:52,390 --> 00:14:54,523
Hey, I'm just trying
to be an ally here.
389
00:14:54,566 --> 00:14:55,916
Okay.
Hey, look, Gary.
390
00:14:55,959 --> 00:14:58,005
You know, I really thought
this was a great idea,
391
00:14:58,048 --> 00:15:01,486
but I'm starting to feel like
this is just a big mistake.
392
00:15:01,530 --> 00:15:03,967
I'm sorry,
but I can't take you on.
393
00:15:04,011 --> 00:15:05,664
Okay? Bye.
394
00:15:05,708 --> 00:15:07,928
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
Look.
395
00:15:07,971 --> 00:15:11,670
I'm just a White man standing
in front of his Black cousin,
396
00:15:11,714 --> 00:15:14,891
asking him to solve racism --
together.
397
00:15:14,935 --> 00:15:16,458
I can't do it, Gary.
398
00:15:16,501 --> 00:15:17,938
Hey.
Lose my number, man.
399
00:15:17,981 --> 00:15:19,722
Wh-- Yeah.
400
00:15:19,765 --> 00:15:21,593
I understand what's going on.
This is part of the process.
401
00:15:25,467 --> 00:15:27,382
Hey.
Hey.
402
00:15:27,425 --> 00:15:29,514
What are you doing out here
by yourself?
403
00:15:29,558 --> 00:15:31,864
Oh, no.
404
00:15:31,908 --> 00:15:34,171
Did you find the Playboy
that your mom was in?
405
00:15:34,215 --> 00:15:36,043
I told you -- those pictures
she sent to Hugh Hefner
406
00:15:36,086 --> 00:15:38,306
were unsolicited.
407
00:15:38,349 --> 00:15:39,655
No.
408
00:15:39,698 --> 00:15:43,006
I had to drop Gary.
He got to be too much.
409
00:15:43,050 --> 00:15:44,181
Dre.
410
00:15:45,443 --> 00:15:48,359
Dre, Dre.
411
00:15:48,403 --> 00:15:51,058
Dre.
412
00:15:51,101 --> 00:15:55,497
Did he surprise you and do
exactly what I said he would?
413
00:15:55,540 --> 00:15:57,803
Thanks for
not rubbing it in.
414
00:15:57,847 --> 00:15:59,501
I knew
you would end up here
415
00:15:59,544 --> 00:16:02,330
because I have done this
so many times before, Dre,
416
00:16:02,373 --> 00:16:04,810
and I didn't want you to be
disappointed, the way I was.
417
00:16:04,854 --> 00:16:08,075
Gary wanted to jump in
and fix the entire system
418
00:16:08,118 --> 00:16:10,033
without owning his own part
in it.
419
00:16:11,295 --> 00:16:14,298
Sometimes I think it's easier
to post "Black lives matter"
420
00:16:14,342 --> 00:16:17,127
and shame your grandma online
than look in the mirror
421
00:16:17,171 --> 00:16:18,607
and realize
that you are complicit.
422
00:16:18,650 --> 00:16:19,956
Yes!
423
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,177
What is it about this moment
that so many people
424
00:16:23,220 --> 00:16:26,397
are finally comfortable
saying Black lives matter?
425
00:16:27,616 --> 00:16:29,705
Where were they
for Aiyana Jones,
426
00:16:29,748 --> 00:16:33,491
Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown,
Sandra Bland?
427
00:16:33,535 --> 00:16:38,540
I think that after four years
of overt tiki torch racism,
428
00:16:38,583 --> 00:16:41,412
it's socially acceptable
for White people
429
00:16:41,456 --> 00:16:45,068
to finally fight
for the dignity of Black people.
430
00:16:45,112 --> 00:16:45,982
That's what scares me.
431
00:16:46,026 --> 00:16:47,288
I know.
432
00:16:47,331 --> 00:16:49,812
If they can flip a switch
and care,
433
00:16:49,855 --> 00:16:51,509
they can just as easily
flip a switch
434
00:16:51,553 --> 00:16:52,554
and go back
to notcaring.
435
00:16:52,597 --> 00:16:53,990
Agreed.
436
00:16:54,034 --> 00:16:55,513
And what are we supposed to say
next time we see Gary?
437
00:16:55,557 --> 00:16:57,428
Oh, my God. Dre.
438
00:16:57,472 --> 00:16:59,822
You still want
to engage him?
439
00:16:59,865 --> 00:17:01,954
He's the only oneof your family members
that I like, Bow.
440
00:17:01,998 --> 00:17:03,086
What?!
441
00:17:03,130 --> 00:17:04,131
I'm not ready
to let that go.
442
00:17:04,174 --> 00:17:05,697
Oh, my God.
443
00:17:05,741 --> 00:17:07,177
He goes for it
on fourth and 1
444
00:17:07,221 --> 00:17:09,005
no matter where he is
on the field!
445
00:17:09,049 --> 00:17:10,398
What's fourth and 1?
446
00:17:10,441 --> 00:17:12,139
See?
You wouldn't understand.
447
00:17:12,182 --> 00:17:15,142
Okay.
448
00:17:15,185 --> 00:17:17,970
When I win the Nobel Prize
for psychology,
449
00:17:18,014 --> 00:17:19,320
I'm gonna shout you out.
450
00:17:19,363 --> 00:17:20,538
You better.
451
00:17:21,844 --> 00:17:22,801
Um...
452
00:17:22,845 --> 00:17:25,413
Oh, hey.
How'd it go with Diane?
453
00:17:25,456 --> 00:17:26,762
Oh, well, uh,
about that --
454
00:17:26,805 --> 00:17:29,112
Actually,
I've got to talk to you
455
00:17:29,156 --> 00:17:30,853
about
this psychology stuff.
456
00:17:30,896 --> 00:17:32,681
Okay.
457
00:17:32,724 --> 00:17:35,597
I don't think it's a good idea
for you to diagnose my family.
458
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:39,818
Yeah, we have our problems,
but what family doesn't?
459
00:17:39,862 --> 00:17:41,994
Plus, if you would've tried this
on my grandma,
460
00:17:42,038 --> 00:17:43,692
she probably would've shot you
in your belly.
461
00:17:43,735 --> 00:17:45,172
She's done it before.
462
00:17:45,215 --> 00:17:47,522
Why didn't you say this
the other day?
463
00:17:47,565 --> 00:17:49,480
It's my usual MO
to squash my feelings
464
00:17:49,524 --> 00:17:51,265
to make other people
happy.
465
00:17:51,308 --> 00:17:55,530
But I love our relationship,
and because of that,
466
00:17:55,573 --> 00:17:58,098
it's important that I let you
know how I really feel.
467
00:17:58,141 --> 00:17:59,621
Ohh.
468
00:17:59,664 --> 00:18:01,101
I'm so sorry.
469
00:18:01,144 --> 00:18:02,754
I did it again.
470
00:18:02,798 --> 00:18:05,801
I'm always screwing something up
with my dumb psych major.
471
00:18:05,844 --> 00:18:06,889
No, baby.
472
00:18:06,932 --> 00:18:08,543
Even my own family
got tired of it.
473
00:18:09,761 --> 00:18:11,589
Honestly...
474
00:18:11,633 --> 00:18:13,156
I'm just trying
to impress you guys.
475
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:14,549
Aww.
476
00:18:14,592 --> 00:18:15,985
You do impress me.
477
00:18:18,205 --> 00:18:19,554
Okay.
478
00:18:19,597 --> 00:18:21,121
Ah. All right.
479
00:18:21,164 --> 00:18:23,123
Well,
thank you for the beer.
480
00:18:23,166 --> 00:18:24,646
That's not all I did.
481
00:18:24,689 --> 00:18:27,214
I had a long talk
with Jennifer, and...
482
00:18:27,257 --> 00:18:29,041
it looks like we're not
gonna be sending our kids
483
00:18:29,085 --> 00:18:30,652
to public school
next year.
484
00:18:30,695 --> 00:18:32,741
And before you say anything,
I know, man --
485
00:18:32,784 --> 00:18:34,569
I'm a hypocrite.
Mm-hmm.
486
00:18:34,612 --> 00:18:38,007
But I just don't know if I can
make a huge sacrifice like that
487
00:18:38,050 --> 00:18:40,836
without knowing for sure
that it's gonna pay off.
488
00:18:40,879 --> 00:18:42,620
That's what a movement is --
489
00:18:42,664 --> 00:18:45,406
many people sacrificing
parts of their lives
490
00:18:45,449 --> 00:18:48,844
to move the needle,
even if the needle barely moves.
491
00:18:48,887 --> 00:18:52,674
Look, man, I know
your eyes are newly open
492
00:18:52,717 --> 00:18:55,198
to all of the injustice
in this country
493
00:18:55,242 --> 00:18:57,200
and you want to change
everything all at once.
494
00:18:57,244 --> 00:18:58,419
Yeah.
495
00:18:58,462 --> 00:19:00,377
But what matters
to memost
496
00:19:00,421 --> 00:19:06,122
is that in five days,
five months, five years,
497
00:19:06,166 --> 00:19:07,645
you're still doing the work.
498
00:19:09,343 --> 00:19:12,172
You're so right, man.
There's so much for me to learn.
499
00:19:12,215 --> 00:19:13,956
And there's just racism
everywhere.
500
00:19:13,999 --> 00:19:16,088
Got to just open my eyes
to it.
501
00:19:16,132 --> 00:19:17,525
Yep.
502
00:19:17,568 --> 00:19:19,483
Okay, let's go watch
Chiefs-Redskins.
503
00:19:20,963 --> 00:19:23,226
It's the Washington
Football Team.
504
00:19:23,270 --> 00:19:24,880
It is?
Yeah.
505
00:19:24,923 --> 00:19:28,231
And I don't know how the Chiefs
got out of changing their name.
506
00:19:28,275 --> 00:19:29,885
And, uh...
507
00:19:29,928 --> 00:19:31,582
I'm gonna get
some more beer.
508
00:19:31,626 --> 00:19:33,410
Oh, well, they only brew this
every three years.
509
00:19:33,454 --> 00:19:35,064
It's kind of special.
510
00:19:35,107 --> 00:19:37,022
Uh, maybe they should brew it
every fiveyears.
511
00:19:37,066 --> 00:19:38,459
Hey, did you read any...
512
00:19:38,502 --> 00:19:41,244
It's good that more people
are talking about things
513
00:19:41,288 --> 00:19:44,639
they wouldn't talk about
even just a few years ago.
514
00:19:44,682 --> 00:19:47,555
That doesn't mean
that the work is easy.
515
00:19:47,598 --> 00:19:50,688
But it shows we made progress,
and that's what's important.
516
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:56,477
But then you smear it --Dre. Thank God you're here.
517
00:19:56,520 --> 00:19:57,782
Okay, Josh and I are having what
I can call a disagreement...
518
00:19:57,826 --> 00:19:59,131
Sure.
519
00:19:59,175 --> 00:20:01,525
...about what technically
constitutes blackface.
520
00:20:01,569 --> 00:20:03,353
What do you think?
521
00:20:03,397 --> 00:20:04,615
Are you serious?
522
00:20:04,659 --> 00:20:06,530
Oh, yes! Dre rant!
523
00:20:06,574 --> 00:20:07,923
I got some popcorn!
524
00:20:07,966 --> 00:20:08,663
Hold.
525
00:20:08,706 --> 00:20:09,664
And go.
526
00:20:09,707 --> 00:20:11,056
You know what?

♪ Oh, what peace it is...
538
