About This Quote
The white people always want to fight someone and they always get the dark-skinned people to do the fighting. It’s not that they like to fight, it’s that they want someone to fight for them. The white people used to be in favor of peace and now they’re fighting everyone. Being afraid of fighting is a sign of weakness, but they still think it’s a good idea. When you make others do your fighting for you and claim victory over them, you’ve made yourself the most powerful person in the world.
