Students Fight For Lives
00:03:54

| In neighboring St. Paul, more than 100 students took their grievances over police brutality to the Capitol, where lawmakers inside the fenced-in statehouse could be seen peeking out through the curtains to look at protesters outside. | |
| The student protests were organized on Instagram by Minnesota teen activists, a local group founded after the George Floyd protest last summer. | |
| Students from at least 110 schools. | |
| You hear that? | |
| You could cry. | |
| Students from 110 schools should be singing the National Anthem and taking the Pledge of Allegiance to the least racist multiracial country in the history of the world. | |
| That's what they should be doing. | |
| Have planned protests to honor Dante Wright. | |
| Honor Dante Wright. | |
| I read to you, they don't know a damn thing about Daunte Wright, except that the press told them he's black and the officers were white. | |
| That's all that mattered. | |
| At 1.47 p.m., the time Daunte Wright was shot eight days before, hundreds of Minneapolis teenagers sat together on the ground to mark three minutes of silence. | |
| Ray Sean, 16, a student at the Fair High School for the Arts. | |
| Said he had spent those three minutes thinking about, quote, the change we're going to make. | |
| Isn't that great? | |
| That's what America needs, change. | |
| As a young black man, he said he had come to the protest even though his mother, worried about the risk, had tried to convince him not to. | |
| It's interesting that his mother warned him about that. | |
| It's an extremely fair... | |
| I think the only or one of the only compassion questions to ask, is there a dad in his life? | |
| He wanted, quote, to fight for what I believe in, he said. | |
| What does he believe in? | |
| Ending genocide against blacks? | |
| What does he believe in? | |
| It's a shame that the children have to come out and fight for our lives. | |
| Fight for our lives. | |
| Wow. | |
| Meanwhile, the president is telling kids their age to get vaccinated so that they don't die of COVID. Chance of a 16-year-old dying because he's black or dying because of COVID are close to zero in both cases. | |
| But it does fill your life with meaning. | |
| I gotta say that. | |
| What is it? | |
| Nothing like gallows to focus the mind? | |
| Make-believe world that we live in. | |
| It's a shame that the children have to come out and fight for our lives. | |
| A student from North Community High School told a crowd of at least 600 young people. | |
| After George Floyd's killing, quote, America will never be the same again, said Kimberly Bernard, a New York organizer with the Black Women's March. | |
| See, that's what they want. | |
| They want America to never be the same again. | |
| Blacks are the tool to use to do this. | |
| There's no going back to the way it used to be. | |

Used To Be Bad

|
| Really? | |
| Why was so bad in 2015? | |
| What it used to be. | |
| I don't mean used to be 50 years ago, 150 years ago. | |
| Used to be 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago. | |
| This is what they're doing. | |
