55:07
ARCHIVE (circa 2003, Episodes 40-41) Jesse talks with Samuel Norris, a Christian black man who was once a drug addict who went to prison for robbery. Raised by both parents, he feels they treated him like the black sheep of the family, different from his sisters. He felt his father set a bad example, but Samuel hid his drug dealing, thieving street life from his suspicious parents. Describing the thrill of crime, he said he'd pretend to help a person while stealing from him. When caught sometimes, people threatened him with a pistol put in his mouth — three times!
Samuel Norris answers questions about being a man, finding God, and overcoming addiction. Racism, he says, is not holding black people back, and people like Al Sharpton are lying. Lastly, he talks about the role of church and fellowship.
