      Kevin Toombs I understand what you mean, but the goal of this question is too get the guys talking about these issues that she knows matter to them. And again, get them to express their views to a larger audience. She knows where they stand; she wants them to explain that to the people watching in the UK.
      Also, I'd be curious to know your opinion on my own RTJ interviews. Circa 2015. Check it.

These guys are so raw that they know exactly where they stand on the issues they care about. And of course, just spreading their brand of love as per usual!

      Maybe she understood who she was talking to a bit and knew how to ask questions which they could elaborate on the way they want to. They didn't seem uncomfortable at all during this interview, and actually seemed excited to be able to talk and elaborate on some things freely without the interviewer butting in all the time.

    Agree 1000% with Mike on the 'I do see color' statement. Too many passive, non-confrontational people walking around saying "I don't see color". That's a cop out. You should see color and you should respect our differences. We all have to fit in and assimilate to a certain degree for things to work. If you say, "I don't see color", then you are as blind as the racist, bigots you claim to be against. These men are the shit. Saw them for the first time this year in Royal Oak, MI and was blown away from my expectations to say the least.
