You know, you never finished telling me about African justice.
00:00:06.337 --> 00:00:08.464
What exactly does “ubuntu” mean?
00:00:08.547 --> 00:00:10.424
It means we're all connected.
00:00:10.508 --> 00:00:11.884
What hurts you hurts me.
00:00:11.967 --> 00:00:15.763
What affects you affects me,
affects everyone.
00:00:15.846 --> 00:00:19.475
If Africans want to praise someone, they say “unbuntu.”
00:00:19.558 --> 00:00:21.977
It means
they think the person is generous
00:00:22.061 --> 00:00:24.105
and compassionate.
00:00:24.188 --> 00:00:26.774
It's all about compassion and forgiveness.
00:00:26.857 --> 00:00:29.985

00:00:30.999 --> 00:00:33.155
- That's African-American.
- I'm not talking about skin.
00:00:33.239 --> 00:00:34.949
Well, I am.
00:00:35.996 --> 00:00:36.617
See, skin is everything.
00:00:36.007 --> 00:00:38.119
It's all about skin.
