How to do it.
matched
So we're going to show you how to do it.
matched
And the best way that you can make white folks angry is to show them that you know how to do democracy when we don't know how to do democracy.
matched
And that was what made us angry.
matched
And as far as preferential treatment, go back this whole line about black preferential treatment goes back to Andrew Johnson.
matched
Oh.
matched
When Andrew Johnson vetoed the Civil Rights Act of 1866, which was in the immediate aftermath of
matched
Lincoln's assassination, he vetoed all that law said was that there could there was going to be no more discrimination against black people.
matched
And he vetoed it, calling it preferential treatment, saying that it did more for black people than had ever been done for the white race.
matched
All it did was call for equal treatment.
matched
So this argument about reverse discrimination literally goes back to the time when Lincoln's body wasn't even cold yet.
matched
That's how long this argument and that's how ridiculous the argument is, but it's what you do when you realize that the people you have tried to destroy, the people you have tried to beat, the people you have tried to diminish refuse to give up and refuse to die.
matched
And that is when you realize that you are not the superior one.
matched
If anything, you might be the opposite of that.
matched
And that's what I think has people so angry.
matched
It's not, it's not superiority, because superior people just go out and do superior things.
matched
Superior people don't need cheerleaders.
matched
Superior people don't need to write books about how superior they are.
matched
Superior people don't need to to have people on X talking about how superior they are, right?
matched
They just go out and do superior shit.
