If you are privileged in whatever form
00:00:02
that looks like, please use it for those
00:00:04
who are not.
00:00:06
Please use your power, your platform,
00:00:09
your privilege
00:00:11
for those who are not because there are
00:00:12
many people who are not in the same
00:00:14
position. And I think we as a race, we
00:00:17
as a society, we as a culture are only
00:00:19
as good as our neighbor. And if our
00:00:22
neighbors
00:00:23
are in desperate need of our help, our
00:00:26
voices, whatever it is, whatever our
00:00:28
privilege is, I think use it. Or else to
00:00:30
me, you just sound like you're full of
00:00:32
And so I just strongly encourage
00:00:35
those who are in privileged positions
00:00:37
and in power positions, please think of
00:00:39
our our most vulnerable. But anyone
00:00:42
who's doing this, Mahi, for our most
00:00:43
vulnerable, I love you and I thank you
00:00:46
because those children who were
00:00:48
vulnerable are me and my siblings. And
00:00:50
how I wish someone stood beside me and
00:00:52
said, "Matt, this was never yours to
00:00:54
carry." Because even though I'm lucky
00:00:56
enough to turn out this way, some of my
00:00:58
faro and my extended faro haven't been
00:01:00
so lucky.
