The New Black doesn’t blame other races for our issues. The New Black dreams and realizes that it’s not a pigmentation: it’s a mentality and it’s either going to work for you, or it’s going to work against you. And you’ve got to pick the side you’re going to be on.

I try not to cry, in general. The experience of crying is so emotional and uncomfortable for me that I don't like to go there.
