Black children without the ability to feel a normal amount of guilt will victimize their parents, relatives and community first.

Their self-centered personalities will cause them to look out for themselves without concern for others, black or white.”
—James P. Comer (20th century)

“The days to come are a watershed.
You have to improve your portrait of God
To make it plain.”
