but this one not so much, IMO:

"People almost never hear white people and black people talking for more than like two minutes. And white people are still sort of baffled by the fact that I have a lot of black friends. Look, I get a lot of access; I hear things that most people don’t get, from hanging out with black guys."

i mean, most white people don't have black friends or interact with black people like that on a personal level. he is afforded access and hears things that others do not. look at our experience on this very message board as white dudes, we have access to and hear things that the majority of white people are completely ignorant to, which gives us a deeper and better understanding of the black experience. i would guess most white folks on these boards interact with black people at a MUCH higher rate than your average white person. that skews our perspective a bit on these type of issues, but remember, most white people pretty much only deal/interact with other white people. shout out to Atillah. he's been saying that around here for years.
