All b.s. aside, it all comes down to... we got to survive. i mean, even warriors put their spears down on sundays. we got to survive here in this country... 'cause i'm not going back to africa. we got to survive here. and for us to survive here-white folks, black folks, korean folks, mexican folks, puerto ricans-we got to understand each other.

More From Tupac Shakur

Taking the continent as a whole, this religious tension may be responsible for the revival of the commonest racial feeling. africa is divided into black and white, and the names that are substituted- africa south of the sahara, africa north of the sahara- do not manage to hide this latent racism. here, it is affirmed that white africa has a thousand-year-old tradition of culture; that she is mediterranean, that she is a continuation of europe and that she shares in graeco-latin civilization. black africa is looked on as a region that is inert, brutal, uncivilized - in a word, savage.
Religious Latin Black And White
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

Latinos have not historically been a culture that unites easily. we're very factioned - you have your mexican americans, your puerto ricans, your cuban americans, your central americans - and sometimes we focus on the differences more than the commonalities.
Mexican Focus Culture
They [ the government of puerto rico] are asking to be given the right to declare bankruptcy, which i think should be an option, as a last resort, if there is no other resource. but there also need to be measures, changes within the government of puerto rico, in the ways that the island's funds are administered, not just to deal with this budget issue, but also to have, to attract the economic growth that is necessary for puerto rico to begin to grow economically. they are losing population, and they are losing economically.

There is definitely global warming, and man is definitely contributing to it. go out to, say, montana and talk to some pretty conservative people, hunters and fishermen. they know that in the trout stream they fished when they were growing up, the trout are stressed because the water temperature is going up. they know the hunting season has been delayed because the snows are coming later, and therefore the elk aren't coming down from the mountains.

As you grow up, always tell the truth, do no harm to others, and don't think you are the most important being on earth. rich or poor, you then can look anyone in the eye and say, 'i'm probably no better than you, but i'm certainly your equal.
Inspiring Growing Up Eye
Kids are a great analogy. you want your kids to grow up, and you don't want your kids to grow up. you want your kids to become independent of you, but it's also a parent's worst nightmare: that they won't need you. it's like the real tragedy of parenting.
Growing Up Real Kids
Children model the behavior of adults, on whatever scale is available to them. ours are growing up in a nation whose most important, influential men - from presidents to the coolest film characters - solve problems by killing people. ... we have taught our children in a thousand ways, sometimes with flag-waving and sometimes with a laugh track, that the bad guy deserves to die.
