We Can Choose Anger Or Respect

We can either choose to be bitter and angry with each other as black people, but if that is our choice, how will we be able to build the great bridges of solidarity and resistance against the racism which you mentioned?
If we are a people who have enemies who are downpressing us, how can we be angry with each other and at the same time, be able to create unity among ourselves, to resist they who have abondoned us in the western hemisphere. Each of us becomes angry for a minute sometimes as a result of provocation, but we must not allow anger to control us, we must find ways and means to control our anger, or else we will generally do and say things which we will later regret. If we cannot make the sacrifice to cultivate black self respect among our own black people, then what are we really living for?
If a brother or a sister insults you, you do not have to insult him in return, for if you do that, then it will be a back and forth of insults and anger multiplying it self into rage and insanity. Some one out of the two must be intelligent enough, to put out the fire instead of putting fire upon fire.
Again I send many oceans of blessings and self determination to African people everywhere
