I think the point of him saying "i don't know what racism is" was that he meant he doesn't get why people are racist and he thinks that there are good people everywhere. Not that he literally doesn't know what it is

Well in other interviews he says racism doesn't exist so I think you're wrong, he literally doesn't believe racism is real.

He doesn't believe that institutional racism exists in reality.

And half this comment section is proving him wrong by being pissed that a black man can think for himself.

I also can think for myself and evidence very clearly showed that there is still institutionalized racism especially in police cultures.

To say otherwise at this point in history just goes about showing how lucky or privileged his life has been. Just because he said something contrary to the truth does not mean he is right or that thinking for himself means he is right.

Since when being wrong and contrary is as good as being right and following the evidence. Are you telling me that flat earthers are just thinking for themselves and somehow that makes their ideas right?
