aying attention and you're going to hate me for a while but you're going to be glad I did it. That's my prediction. You're going to be glad I did it but you can hate me for a while. Just like the white racists hated Rosa Parks. They probably hated the hell out of her I assume, right? But not now. So time is on my side because you are going to be happy that I waded into the conversation.

Now one of the biggest complaints I'm getting lately is even from people who support me or at least don't want me canceled. They're saying that the way I said it was unnecessarily provocative and it was unproductive and it made things worse. What do you say? Was it an awkward? Well it was definitely awkward. But was it unproductive and just made things worse and it was a big mistake the way I said it? Well here's what's wrong with their theory. I did it intentionally and it turned out better than I'd hoped. Here's what I hoped. I didn't expect I would get fully canceled. That time I have been predicting I would be fully canceled but I thought it would be for political reasons and you know some excuse would pop up. I didn't know it would be this one and it hadn't been this one. I'm sure there would have been others. You know they'll just find some reason. But I was trying to be provocative. I was trying to make people angry. Is that a mistake? If I'd done it unintentionally it would have been a mistake but I did it very intentionally. I was trying to get people mad so that they would send me energy and then we'd talk about it and then everybody would say oh that was useful. Thanks. What happened was it got too big. And the reason it got too big is not because of what I said. Well you all get that, right? The reason I got canceled had nothing to do with what I said except sort of you know any excuse was good enough. Once it started it was just sort of a political cascade. But it wasn't what I said. People are mad at that. They're mad that I made them mad. I did that intentionally. If you're mad that I made people mad, okay. If you're just mad, okay. That's what I wanted. That's exactly what I wanted. And I wanted you to turn all of your guns on me. I wanted you all to circle around me, draw all of your weapons, point them at my head and make me defend myself. That's what I wanted and that's what I got.

Now I would argue that I'm already the most, I'll use the word interesting only because I'm controversial. You know if you're controversial you're automatically interesting too. I'm the most interesting voice in America right now on this topic. Does anybody disagree? I'm not saying I'm the most authoritative, the most credible, the most believable, the most anything else. Only the most prominent and interesting voice. And what makes me interesting is that I'm walking through this topic instead of around it. I know how to go around it. I know how to apologize, blah blah. But there's nothing to apologize for. I'm trying to help you. I'm not going to apologize for trying to help you. And when I say you I mean Black America, you know, and everybody else the same way. Rosa Parks was helping Black America but ended up helping everybody. This is specifically for the benefit of Black America. It's going to help everybody else too because we have to get to the point where you can actually say something honestly about the topic. How in the world could you possibly move ahead if you have to lie about the topic you're working on? And the non-lie is that given the trends we see, and I like to say by lived experience, I don't need the Rasmussen poll to tell me what's obvious, do I? You can just watch the news and talk to people and be on social media and live for five minutes and you see everything that the Rasmussen poll suggested. Now perhaps the exact numbers are a little off but there's no doubt that even if the Rasmussen poll had never existed there's clearly racial tensions that have gotten worse since Trayvon Martin. And I think they're reaching a point where the society is starting not to work so well. Like it's starting to have some cracks. And the thing that makes America America in my opinion is the so-called classic melting pot. Like if we can't figure out how to work together across races and make it better than if we had no diversity at all, we're not really going to be a competitive country. And I want to be a competitive country. So is it good for me to help Black America? Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Because that helps me. It helps you as well. Right now if I were only helping Black America then you might have some questions but I don't do things that aren't good for everybody. Like that's how it works. You help the ones that are in the deepest hole. That's sort of good for everybody just like Rosa Parks. You know it was good for everybody.

So let me say a little bit more about that. If you thought that my communication was poor, and a number of people said words to this effect, we know he's a professional communicator so why did he do this so wrong? Have you seen that? People saying he knows how to communicate, why did he do this so wrong? It wasn't wrong. It was supposed to get exactly, I was communicating for a fact and I got exactly the effect I tried to get which is outrage. Does anybody think I wasn't trying to outrage you? How in the world could you think that wasn't intended to be outrageous? Of course it was. Of course it was. You've seen me do it before by the way. So I wouldn't say that that was communication. I would say it was protest. It was protest. Protest is supposed to make you pissed off. Do you remember that I supported Colin Kaepernick's protest and everybody who was watching me now hated me for it? You remember that? And I supported his protest because it was perfect. He made everybody mad and what he did was super inappropriate. You know, kneeling for the national anthem, inappropriate in the sort of classic way. So the fact that he was so inappropriate and he got fully canceled like somebody I know, like somebody I know, made a great protest. That was a good protest. You still remember his name. You still remember his issue. And he took the bullet. Now I think he should have gone back in. I would have liked to see him go back and play again but that didn't work out. So if you think I was communicating then it would look like I made a big mistake. If you know I was protesting a situation which I don't think can stand, then pissing you off is exactly what I wanted to do. It's exactly what I wanted to do. I didn't think it would get that big. I thought it would just stay within my audience and my audience is well aware that I like to agitate them and then once they're in an agitated state then I reframe it and bring them back. How many times have you seen me do that? I agitate my audience with some pr
