Some issues you just - you certainly you have to defend yourself, but you certainly don`t have to denigrate others.

I believed there was enough evidence to go to trial. Grand jury said there wasn't. Okay, fine. Do I have a right to disagree with the grand jury? Many Americans believe O.J. Simpson was guilty. A jury said he wasn't. So I have as much right to question a jury as they do. Does it make somebody a racist? No! They just disagreed with the jury. So did I.

While the rest of the country waves the flag of Americana, we understand we are not part of that. We don't owe America anything - America owes us.

We won`t back down! We won`t be trumped!

I don't think Dr. King helped racial harmony, I think he helped racial justice. What I profess to do is help the oppressed and if I cause a load of discomfort in the white community and the black community, that in my opinion means I'm being effective, because I'm not trying to make them comfortable. The job of an activist is to make people tense and cause social change.

I`m very cautious about what appears to be things put in place that will begin to roll back some of the progress that I believe we`ve made.

We cannot move forward or will not move forward if we are divided.
