If I was talking to a MAGA person. I would try and do that thing where you try and see yourself in the other, this comes up in all sorts of different religions, spiritual modes, things like that. Allegedly, it comes up in Christianity.

And I think that remembering that our neutral when we're babies, when we're very small, it's a place of love.

And it's easy to lose hope with a MAGA person saying, just trying to encourage a framework of love if you are looking at destroying other people as being representative of your "righteousness".

What if you switched out that frame?

What if you were coming from a place of love?

Does this jive or does it not jive?

These are just fundamentals, basics that children tiny children understand. But seems like a few million people need a refresher, so starting there.

What's Your Most Recent Memory of Racism? Gin Hammond reveals...

So you know, there's something every day about racism.

One thing that is still reverberating in me right now, however, is a personal relationship I have with somebody who is a darker skinned black woman, and she has basically lost it….

It's very hard to be the sensitive artist that she is and be in this world as a dark-skinned black woman right now.

And so she literally talks about putting her mind someplace else far away.

Checking out that, that sort of thing that, that happens to, like survivors of s#xual ab#se, who disassociate but also. She's lashing out to those closest to her especially if they're lighter skinned.

So it's an ongoing thing that doesn't need to exist purely because of racism.

What are my first memories of racism?

It depends on the kind because there's so many different kinds. There's a vast array, right?

There's just feeling like looks were odd when I was a kid. Me being little and held by my dad. I think my dad got a lot of attention, especially when it's just the two of us, right?

So this black man with this little white baby girl, and people are like.

"Does she belong to you?"

But I know that I was protected from a lot of that, but I remember feeling the weirdness, right? But then there were things later on...

There's this social media thing, 4th Freshest McCury.

Interracial family. The youngest daughter, whose nickname is Pudge, came out a recessive gene wonder like me.

I say in the play I mentioned how my brother was called names. I never was. I remember this kid called Kenny, who was a family friend, Kenny, and he called my brother the N word.

I think they were younger than 10. Where did Kenny learn that?

There were talks between the families, summit negotiations, all of that. And I think a mutual non-aggression pact was reached. But it was definitely icky.

It's it's. There are a lot of families out there that have siblings of different skin tones.

Even though I had a lighter skin sibling you might not get those words, you love your sibling and it those poison darts press into your skin as well.
