BAQUET - Some people think that the election of Donald Trump has revived the debate about race in America. Some people think that, in fact, there's always been racism in America; that it hasn't changed and that the debate isn't any different. It's just people are paying attention to it. What do you think?

JAY-Z - The great thing about Donald Trump being president is now we’re forced to have the dialogue. Now we’re having the conversation on the large scale; he’s provided the platform for us to have the conversation.

BAQUET - And you think that's better? That we should be having a conversation?

JAY-Z - Absolutely. That's why this is happening.

BAQUET - Do you think the debate over race in America is happening in a healthy way?

JAY-Z - Well, an ideal way is to have a president that says, "I'm open to dialogue and fixing this." That's ideal. But it's still happening in a good way, because you can't have a solution until you start dealing with the problem: What you reveal, you heal. 06-Aug-2019

The only way to save your kids from the future is to start parenting them. We picked the wrong people to represent parenthood. Self-parenting is neglect.

Take the best from your parents (if they have no qualifications, start anew,) opine what it taught you and put what's left to the test. Your children follow suit, perfecting your mistakes and enabling the perfect parent and child of the future. We weren't supposed to rewrite it. Even if you rewrote the bible, there is only so much you can stretch before all the reason is sucked out of it. Our kids can't choose a sex to be because they are avoiding being like either of you. For people who have all the rights in the world you spend most of it hating each other. If you're going to have children, you better understand both sexes and all the in-betweens.

I don't care what sex any of your children choose to be, please raise them to be strong. We can take it. Maybe one day the environment will thank them. 17-Jul-2019
