I think the American Dream should be about a greater progressive legislation that allows for what I call a necessary future world of cooperational humanism.

I'm still a political revolutionary. The fire never went out of me, but perceptions and realizations change.

The people have now come to realize that the only way to deal with the oppressor is to deal on our own terms and this was done.

On the one hand, the guns were there to help capture the imagination of the people. But more important, since we knew that you couldn't observe the police without guns, we took our guns with us to let the police know that we have an equalizer.

We were like heroes, to stand there and observe the police, and the police were scared to move upon us.

Money is the medium of exchange, and it's how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.

I have quite a few good friends in Philadelphia who were police officers.
