PLATFORM : Tired of the Killing

(White) America doesn’t want to do anything about the violence because they could give less than a ----, as long as we keep it in South-Central (Los Angeles) or stay south of Pico (Boulevard). Don’t bring it to Westwood.

The black middle-class is numb to it because they are busy trying to cross over to the white middle-class. You’ve got a brother who has spent all of his life trying to get out of the ghetto, and when he does, he doesn’t look back. He tries to rub elbows.

Some black kids are getting tired of (the killing). But it’s real touchy. There’s no shock factor anymore. If you aren’t shocked by it, it doesn’t matter. Until you get hit by the bullet, you say, ‘I’m going to stay out of the way.’ When you get hit, you figure, ‘Yo, we gotta do something about this ----.’

I don’t think we can rely on the government to solve the problem.
