About This Quote

At times we are the worst racist enemies of our black selves. This quote is about racism in all forms. Racism, bigotry, and hatred are attitudes that are often invisible to the outside world. The people who hold them are usually not ready to admit that they hold them.

However, these attitudes do exist. They exist even in the heart of people who say that they love people of other races because they see them as equal or believe that they are equal. There are times when we act against our own best interests to help the interests of others.
