If you're told from day one,
00:00:01.000 --> 00:00:04.958
don't let nobody disrespect you,
00:00:04.958 --> 00:00:07.583
and this is the way
00:00:04.958 --> 00:00:07.583
you handle it as a man,
00:00:07.583 --> 00:00:09.916
respect is linked
00:00:07.583 --> 00:00:09.916
to violence.
00:00:09.916 --> 00:00:12.833
Boys are trained
00:00:09.916 --> 00:00:12.833
to externalize our pain.
00:00:12.833 --> 00:00:14.624
When something bad
00:00:12.833 --> 00:00:14.624
has happened to us,
00:00:14.624 --> 00:00:16.874
we need to do something
00:00:14.624 --> 00:00:16.874
bad to somebody else,
00:00:16.874 --> 00:00:19.005
avenge the humiliation
00:00:16.874 --> 00:00:19.005
that we've suffered,
00:00:19.005 --> 00:00:20.958
the shame
00:00:19.005 --> 00:00:20.958
that we've experienced.
00:00:20.958 --> 00:00:24.125
To me that's such a basic
00:00:20.958 --> 00:00:24.125
and an incredibly important part
00:00:24.125 --> 00:00:27.833
of what is going on
00:00:24.125 --> 00:00:27.833
in the violence pandemic
00:00:24.125 --> 00:00:27.833
in our society.
