To adjoin the instinctual nature does not mean to come undone, change everything from left to right, from black to white, to move the east to west, to act crazy or out of control. it does not mean to lose one's primary socializations, or to become less human. it means quite the opposite. the wild nature has a vast integrity to it

More From Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

I don't know if it's more acceptable or if black men are more comfortable. black men certainly are more comfortable with it. i don't know that society, like white society loves it or black women. when you see a black man with a white woman there is a feeling that you have and i think the feeling is an instinctual feeling of you want her you don't want me. i don't look anything like her, so you don't like. you know what i mean? something like that. it's a real instinctual primal thing.
Real Mean Men
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
Slowly, very slowly, like two unhurried compass needles, the feet turned towards the right; north, north-east, east, south-east, south, south-south-west; then paused, and after a few seconds, turned as unhurriedly back towards the left. south-south-west, south, south-east, east.
Two Feet East
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
