16. But if you're black

you better not have a gun or you're automatically guilty

If a white person attacks you, you'd better not lift a finger, or you are either guilty or dead or both. It's your fault.

Don't even say a word. That's a provication. And you better not run either, because that just means you are a punk trying to get away.

Just stand there and take what's given to you or you are subject to arrest or worse.

Whatever happens, it's your fault.
