Souljah: Yeah, it was wise.

So if you're a gang member and you would normally be killing somebody, why not kill a white person? Do you think that somebody thinks that white people are better, are above and beyond dying, when they would kill their own kind?”

That's my definition of good white people and I haven't met any like that.”
