I am embarrassed at what I see with a lot of the southerners and a lot of the members of our Congress, i'm wondering what you can do... to heal the racial divides that( President) Donald Trump has emboldened and what we as white people who don't believe in that and don't support that -- what can we do to help offset the obvious flashpoints of racial divide in this country.

And we have to do it understanding -- and to the point of the spirit of you raising it, and the way you did -- it is in our collective best interest to speak these truths, to acknowledge what happened, to acknowledge then the vestiges of it that remain because they do. To get to a place where we can heal and we can be better. And I believe that is going to have to be about leadership -- that one is to your point -- not stoking the racism, the anti-Semitism, the white supremacy that we have been seeing because that is happening, i know we are better than this, I believe that. But we will not achieve our true strength as a country if we fail to acknowledge the truth and speak it and recognize what must be done to address it.
