Black people have been robbed of a knowledge of self, and when you rob a people of a knowledge of self then it means that they start to take on the characteristics and nature of their oppressor and their coloniser and his mind by automatic systematic remote control rules in our people, he gives them the guns and the weapons and the drugs and the alcohol. The way you did our brothers the red man and the red woman, the way you did our Latino brothers and sisters and then you pit them one against another and then you say, “look at what these people are doing”.
