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."

  • Bob Sweeney: There was a moment, when I used to blame everything and everyone for all the pain and suffering and vile things that happened to me, that I saw happen to my people. Used to blame everybody. Blamed White people, blamed society, blamed God. I didn't get no answers 'cause I was asking the wrong questions. You have to ask the right questions.
