But to you, it&#8217;s &#8220;other&#8221;. And, listen, you know where we live, there are people who have issues, people we see all the time&#8230;but we see them as human. People see their own, or their neighbors, as human. And it&#8217;s about time, especially as you said, for white people to see black people as human. Even if you can&#8217;t &#8211; why can&#8217;t you relate to them? Because often times you don&#8217;t interact with them. So you may see George Floyd as this character who you see as criminal, but to the people who live in that neighborhood, he&#8217;s one of them, he&#8217;s their neighbor. They know his story. And, he may have &#8211; he may not be the perfect human being &#8211; who is? I&#8217;m not perfect, are you Chris?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chris Cuomo: I couldn&#8217;t be any farther from it.<\/p>\n<p>Don Lemon: Ok, so then, George Floyd isn&#8217;t perfect either.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get to know each other&#8217;s story.<\/p>\n<p>#georgefloyd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The more we learn about someone, the easier it is to appreciate who they are.
