"Maybe . . . keep it to yourself?"

"Does it seem to you that these pictures of confrontations between white police and Afrikan Americans never show the very beginning of the confrontation, that we're given the word of a person portrayed as a victim in the confrontation or  an 'impeccable' witness to the confrontation?"
"I've wondered about that."
"Everywhere I turn some idiots asking me, 'ain you joining the protests!' "
"I can understand why one would tire of hearing the same ol' whining, generations of it.  And it's always so lopsided.  The white police are always 'guilty,' the Afrikan Americans are always 'innocent'.  Now,  how in the hell can anyone with a brain not see that something's wrong with that picture?  It's like a formula.  The moment you hear of a confrontation between a white policeman and an Afrikan American you think 'Here we go again.' "
"You'd think that after generations of this whining Afrikan Americans have to be pretty stupid to have not figured out that they need to do something differently.  Unless they believe it's profitable being considered a 'victim.' "

"I've asked myself  'Wouldn't  people who like being considered a victim be full of self-hate and be masochistic and deliberately -- maybe even subconsciously -- provoke someone to hurt them?'  And think about this, before the news of the confrontation is a minute old Afrikan Americans are already in the streets yelling and threatening violence with 'No justice no peace' -- and not just in the town where the confrontation occurred but in other cities where protesters have no idea what happened.  And check this out.  Afrikan Americans can't claim that this is happening to us because we're black.  There're hundreds of thousands of blacks from all over the world living here, but they're not having these confrontations.  Somebody's deliberately keeping something from us about these confrontations."
"I'm washing my hands of blacks.  It's a waste of time to care what happens to them because as a race they're going to disappear from the Earth.  They have no culture to protect them from self-hate, and only a bold few have made a limited effort to create one.  That's why they -- blacks throughout the world -- have been trying to disappear into the identities of people who don't identify as black.  Am I right or am I right?"
"Maybe better to keep it to yourself?"
