We need a broad commitment to human rights across the board. We cannot attain that simply by protecting one oppressed group or the other.
Jokes are one of the things that bind the culture. If you can't have jokes about everybody in society and if one group is hedged off and protected then that group can never truly be integrated.
Sometimes human beings are very much like bees. Bees are fiercely protective of their hive, provided you are outside it. Once you’re in, the workers sort of assume that it must have been cleared by management and take no notice; various freeloading insects have evolved a mellifluous existence because of this very fact. Humans act the same way.
Everybody wants to protect their own tribe, whether they are right or wrong.
Kids are probably frustrated and egos are too much involved and kids don't know how to get together and be kids and start a group and it's kind of sad because I feel like if you come out with three or four people in the beginning, you can be protected and everybody can shield each other. Before you get out there by yourself and get all these people coming at you. I just think it's not really there.
80 percent of any gang is not there to attack someone. They're there so no one will attack them.
The best defense for any group of people is what we do to defend other people.
I would want to be in a larger group. Personally, it would give me a sense of security, that we aren't a force to be messed with. I'd stay in the center of the group, and stay in shape! I've just got to be able to outrun the rest of them!
It's hard to be scared when there are 80 people around you.
In conditions of uncertainty, humans, like other animals, herd together for protection.
