=== Students Fight For Lives (03:54) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:16]  The student protests were organized on Instagram by Minnesota teen activists, a local group founded after the George Floyd protest last summer.
[00:00:27]  Students from at least 110 schools.
[00:00:29]  You hear that?
[00:00:32]  You could cry.
[00:00:36]  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.
[00:00:45]  That's what they should be doing.
[00:00:48]  Have planned protests to honor Dante Wright.
[00:00:51]  Honor Dante Wright.
[00:00:54]  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.
[00:01:00]  That's all that mattered.
[00:01:03]  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.
[00:01:16]  Ray Sean, 16, a student at the Fair High School for the Arts.
[00:01:24]  Said he had spent those three minutes thinking about, quote, the change we're going to make.
[00:01:30]  Isn't that great?
[00:01:31]  That's what America needs, change.
[00:01:35]  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.
[00:01:44]  It's interesting that his mother warned him about that.
[00:01:48]  It's an extremely fair...
[00:01:51]  I think the only or one of the only compassion questions to ask, is there a dad in his life?
[00:01:58]  He wanted, quote, to fight for what I believe in, he said.
[00:02:10]  What does he believe in?
[00:02:13]  Ending genocide against blacks?
[00:02:16]  What does he believe in?
[00:02:20]  It's a shame that the children have to come out and fight for our lives.
[00:02:24]  Fight for our lives.
[00:02:30]  Wow.
[00:02:34]  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.
[00:02:51]  But it does fill your life with meaning.
[00:02:53]  I gotta say that.
[00:02:54]  What is it?
[00:02:55]  Nothing like gallows to focus the mind?
[00:03:01]  Make-believe world that we live in.
[00:03:05]  It's a shame that the children have to come out and fight for our lives.
[00:03:10]  A student from North Community High School told a crowd of at least 600 young people.
[00:03:19]  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.
[00:03:28]  See, that's what they want.
[00:03:30]  They want America to never be the same again.
[00:03:33]  Blacks are the tool to use to do this.
[00:03:38]  There's no going back to the way it used to be.

=== Used To Be Bad (00:28) ===

[00:03:40]  Really?
[00:03:41]  Why was so bad in 2015?
[00:03:46]  What it used to be.
[00:03:49]  I don't mean used to be 50 years ago, 150 years ago.
[00:03:54]  Used to be 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago.
[00:04:05]  This is what they're doing.
