We don’t need to break up the country. I don’t think that is going to happen. How about we do the hard work of living up to our nation’s founding ideals of equality? How about we address systemic bias and prejudice? Let’s not give up. Many generations in this country have faced challenges and Persevered.

Race has been one of the biggest challenges to our founding ideals. That hasn’t changed. Let’s face it head on and make progress.

Give me your top 5 instances where this country isn't living up to it's founding ideals of equality. We can work on them together.

Just know, if you want to start by addressing the black people killed by the police, I'm going to want to discuss the white people killed by the police. If you want to talk about the black people killed by white people, I'm going to want to talk about the white people killed by black people.

And at some point, I'm going to want to have an in depth discussion about the value of all life, and how it is that so many black people, whom apparently want more than anything for us all to know that black lives matter, are the very ones going around and killing other black people at a sickening, tragic rate.

Let's go. Let's face this head on and make progress. You have the floor.
