Because your tone of voice was really fun fun so what's the difference between... Because today I thought you were going to say like oh the difference between like summer and spring for you is your point you're like what's the

difference between a racism in South Africa and the racism in the USA? It's like my favorite topic. I will tell you what I think the biggest difference between racism in America and racism in South Africa is I find that th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th I I I I I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho the tho tho the the the the the the the the the the the th the th th th th th.

I thu thu thu thu thu thu thu thu the the thu the today today today today today today today today today I today I thu tho tho tho thu thu tell you what, I think the biggest difference between racism in America and racism in South Africa is I find that South African racism is and was a lot more blatant and so there's more of an acknowledgement of it as an idea. And I always say to people, I know it's strange to say this, but I often think that that was the greatest gift the aparthe government gave us is that it was there, it was happening to you, it wasn't, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, it, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I, and I.. And, and I, and I's, and I's, and I's, and I'm thii, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, I'm thi, and thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and I'm thi, and thi, and thi, and thi, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, I was thi, I was thi, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, I's, thiiii...... And, thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. th th th th thiiiiiiiiiiii. th thiii. thi. thi. thi. thi. was like it was there, it was happening to you, it wasn't hidden. Do you know what I mean? So you were just like, we don't want this, people would fight,

stop this apart, it's racism, and then the government would be like, yes, of course it is racism. That's what we're doing to you, the blacks must not do this. But things. I don't know if it was around Nixon, and they were like, oh, we've got to be silent about this. And then it wasn't blatant anymore. And so I always thought that's a terrible thing to do to people, because now people have to be like detectives of their own racism, they're to figure it out. You know what I'm saying? But then in America you'd be like, can I get a home loan? And they'd be like, no, no. And you'd be like, why can't I? And then,

you just start realizing, you're like, wow? How come the black people all seem to only be able to get houses in these areas, but not in these areas? And these school districts are better. How come the money is going here? How come the, how come? And it's, you get what I'm saying? And I know it sounds strange to say, but I probably the biggest difference. You can America and yes. And can I just say, I would, what is your name? Katrina, you should be a debate moderator in this country. Because the way you snuck that question

in was so chill. You would you would throw politicians off the, what are you? You're a teacher? Aha! You see. That was uh, yeah. Yeah, no politicians wouldn't see you coming, you know. You just be like, so let's talk about all of the campaign finance fraud and how you stole that money.
