Una LaMarche, You in Five Acts
"We'd never talked about it, but I figured you knew the rules. If a cop stopped, you didn't run, you didn't talk back, you didn't ever, ever get angry. White people could do that—hell, they could shoot up a church and then ask for Burger King—but not us. We got killed at traffic stops for speeding, for having broken taillights, for knowing our rights."

"لم نتحدث في الأمر قط، لكنني افترضت أنك تعرف القواعد. إذا أوقفك شرطي، لا تهرب، لا تجادله، ولا تغضب أبدًا، أبدًا. يمكن للبيض أن يفعلوا ذلك – بل يمكنهم إطلاق النار في كنيسة ثم يطلبون برجر كنج – لكن ليس نحن. نحن نُقتل عند نقاط التفتيش المرورية بسبب السرعة الزائدة، أو بسبب مصابيح خلفية مكسورة، أو بسبب معرفتنا بحقوقنا."
