There are a lot of young black girls who i meet in my travels who don't have a lot of self-esteem. so if i communicate to them that they're beautiful, no white person should find fault in that. it doesn't mean that young white girls aren't beautiful, because they are just as beautiful.

More From Lauryn Hill

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!'
Movie Jobs Nice
Just because you’ve only been alive for fifteen years doesn’t mean you’re less anything except old. that’s all it means. it doesn’t mean you’re less experienced. it doesn’t mean you’re less intelligent. it doesn’t mean you’re less sensitive. it doesn’t mean you take things less seriously. it’s like, these are younger human beings, meaning don’t, because they’re only ten, start thinking that they don’t know what you’re talking about -because they do. don’t leave people out in the cold, and don’t talk down to people -don’t. it never works out.
Mean Thinking Intelligent
Speaking of love, one problem that recurs more and more frequently these days, in books and plays and movies, is the inability of people to communicate with the people they love: husbands and wives who can't communicate, children who can't communicate with their parents, and so on. and the characters in these books and plays and so on, and in real life, i might add, spend hours bemoaning the fact that they can't communicate. i feel that if a person can't communicate, the very least he can do is to shut up!
Children Husband Real
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
Narcissism is actually a clever guise adopted to mask its exact opposite, which is a deep well of self-loathing, a well of low self-esteem, rather than high self-esteem. this helps explain why narcissists are so sensitive to criticism, why narcissists tend to break into outrage if they're criticized, because their self-esteem is actually much more brittle than it seems, and once they're challenged, that mask falls apart.
