Is Self-Righteousness a bad thing?

I'm being self-righteous to myself because I moved to Portland, OR and was arrested 38 times in a span of 18 months and the only reason I was released was because I always cried "racism" in the way they handle arrests and it worked because I would show up with a bloody lip or a bruised face. However, now that I'm back in the south, I don't always want to cry "racism" because in the south there's more black officers and I know it won't work. So, will being Self-Righteous and avoiding people the best thing for me or not? The reason I ask is because I don't want to look a white person in the face again, unless I trusted him/his family before I left in 2014. I have had it with white people since getting arrested those many times. Please help me.

    Self-assurance ("I am very good at math" or whatever) isn't. Self-righteousness ("I'm better than everybody else and my feces are not malodorous") is, yes.
