What’s wrong with denouncing white interlopers?

It is true that Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, after which there was a commitment to give 40 acres and a mule. That's where the argument, to this day, of reparations starts. We never got the 40 acres. We went all the way to Herbert Hoover, and we never got the 40 acres. We didn't get the mule. So we decided we'd ride this donkey as far as it would take us.

We're not anti-police... we're anti-police brutality.

I very rarely read any fiction. I love biographies; I read about all kinds of people. I love theology and some philosophy.

People in the age of [President] Obama don't dress like they did in the age of [Lyndon] Johnson. That's for sure.

America can't work for only some people and become a dream for all people. It has to work for everyone. And even though everyone might not end up at the same place, if everyone starts with the same beginning, then that's the dream fulfilled. We all don't have the same abilities, but we should have the same opportunities.

So we want to make sure that happens is that we build a relationship with the police department and the community that results in better policing and better cooperation with the community.
