Lawrence "Kris" Parker (KRS-One) Quotes
Black people are just constantly immature in their thinking, undisciplined, and we suffer as a people.

This is just basically that we keep complaining about what we don't have and what we can't do, and then, when we get in positions to do stuff, we fight amongst ourselves like savages.
