“Referred to Michelle Obama and Ketanji Brown Jackson of the Supreme Court, both Harvard graduates, as not having the brain processing power to be taken seriously. Suggested that if they see a black pilot, they would assume they were a DEI hire.”

“I’m a black man born in America,” Smith said. “I know what problems exist in this country.

I don’t care what he felt. I care about the fact that a man was gunned down in front of his two children who are five years of age or less.
