Don't be blinded by hatred

Don't be blinded by hatred.

Going to the extreme is wrong.

Dirk is extremely black hatred out there. In prison, he finally let go of his hatred of black people and got along well with the black guy who was doing the laundry together.

Black and white thinking is a must.

Ask the right questions: Have you ever worked hard to make your life better?

Hate is a burden. Life is short, you shouldn't get angry, it's not worth it at all.

"We are not enemies, we are friends. Don't be enemies, but don't hurt our friendship, even if we are impulsive. When we meet again, good memories will resurface. Let them see the nature of human beings from a better perspective."

"After ten years, when I think about the issue of belief, I suddenly find that any belief, including mine, if abused, can become a stick to beat people and a tool to persecute others. Blasphemy is a crime, and National anti-tradition and lack of ancestors are all crimes. If you can name a belief that can be madly believed without the danger of losing one's sense of reason, and there is no need to say that it has other advantages, I will immediately convert to it - this advantage above all other advantages Together, it's much bigger."

  • [On Derek's change in prison]

    Danny Vinyard: I'm sorry, Derek. I'm sorry that happened to you.

    Derek Vinyard: I'm not. I'm lucky. I feel lucky because it's wrong, Danny. It's wrong and it was eating me up, it was going to kill me. And I kept asking myself all the time, how did I buy into this shit? It was because I was pissed off, and nothing I ever did ever took that feeling away. I killed two guys, Danny, I killed them. And it didn't make me feel any different. It just got me more lost and I'm tired of being pissed off, Danny. I'm just tired of it.

  • Danny Vinyard: [referring to Dr. Sweeney] He's one of those proud to be nigger people, I hate those guys.

    Cameron: Now wait a minute Danny, he's not proud. No, he's a manipulative, self-righteous Uncle Tom who's trying to make you feel guilty about writing about Adolf Hitler. Yeah, when some nigger or some spick writes about Martin Luther King or fucking Caesar commie Chavez, he gets a pat on the head. You can see the hypocrisy in that, can't you?
