You know and there’s things, and interpretations of things that also shock me. I was very surprised at the number of people that talking about the...you know reactions of student of color across the nation on college campuses this past fall, and hearing people say you know, that these students are upset about trivial things or whatever. And I’m sitting there, students are watching people their age shot dead on the street by some...merely executed, and you’re telling me they shouldn’t be troubled or upset. Like what is wrong with you?!   You know and some of these public cases were college students that were killed! So you know, it’s like, I don’t know, how do you not get this is really an emergency and students are justified in feeling it? There are police all around us, and the idea that any one of those guys, you know, can arrest me rough me up disrespect me. You know they don’t have to kill me, they can just be bad! You know and they do that. The Cornell police do, as all police, unnecessarily over police people of color and ask them for IDs, or should you be in this building, and do that to faculty members of color do that to administrators of color. You know as well as students...um and it’s uh you know..it’s just wrong and..a real disparity.
