The oppressing class has no place in telling the oppressed why they shouldn't revolt.

Why is the first thing we think of "race war"? Because we are recognizing the history. Of course nobody wants it, but there is every reason for there to be a race war. And it's a miracle there hasn't already been another.

Yes, we do all have to fix this. But believe me, white people telling black people how to refrain is sure as hell not the way to do it.
