Bingo. As my classmate Darnell Poles said to me in May of 1968 during the
riots after the MLK assassination, when 14 year old me asked him "Why are y'all burnin' up your own communities?"
"It's a black thing. it's not for you to understand."
But before he said that, I could see him briefly considering explaining it all to this nice, curious, uncomprehending white boy he had been going to school and playing sports with since desegregation (so, for three years), and then deciding, "Nah."
