Can we hear from some of the Muslims in this room? How do you feel about it, sir? Are you a Muslim?
No.
There’s no Muslims here.
There is no Muslims here.
Oh, there are no Muslims here at all?
This town is lucky to have black people in it.
Yeah, of course you’re lucky to have black people. They add a lot to the society.
[indistinct shouting]
Thank you, sir. Finally, somebody who appreciates…
No, no, no.
…multiculturalism.
You’re totally missing… You totally missed…
Sir, you are completely right.
No, no .
The benefit of having African-Americans…
No. You’re not hearing me out.
…means a more diverse…
You’re not hearing him.
Thank you, sir. Don’t be ashamed.
He’s saying there’s black people in Kingman that aren’t welcome there either, but we tolerate them .
Okay. One thing I do in Bend, Oregon, is, sometimes, when there there is an atmosphere of tension, which there is here, I use music to alleviate the tension. There is a wonderful song that I use that relaxes people, and it’s from the Xhosa Tribe in South Africa. It goes like this.
[singing in foreign language]
I’m not into that. I gotta go.
[singing continues]
There ain’t nothing calming about that at all. [woman]
I listened enough to that when I worked at Texaco with… and I don’t…

[singing continues]

[singing continues]
You really think this is calming us? This will calm if you close your eyes.
It’s not calming us! It’s pissing us off!
Close your eyes.
[singing continues]
I understand exactly why there was told no weapons here.
[woman] Yes!
Why is that, sir?
Because you come down here and open your mouth and say this kind of shit in front of us, Arizonites, somebody is going to get hurt.
Well, I’m going to write that down.
