“For the white man to ask the black man if he hates him is just like the rapist asking the raped, or the wolf asking the sheep, ‘Do you hate me?’ The white man is in no moral position to accuse anyone else of hate!
“Why, when all of my ancestors are snake-bitten, and I’m snake-bitten, and I warn my children to avoid snakes, what does that snake sound like accusing me of hate-teaching?”

Nobody is saying that it’s your fault…. and nobody is asking you to go back in time. You need to understand that since...
True, but it’s not my fault and there’s nothing I can do to prevent or undo that. I wish I could, but I can’t.
