I am not a hoodlum. I'm a community organizer.

There is an entire generation of young people who know nothing about how viciously the FBI attacked The Black Panther Party, and why.

I am not a hoodlum. I'm a community organizer.

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.

Electoral politics was always an objective of the Black Panther party, so Barack Obama is a part of what we dreamed and struggled and died for.

There's nothing wrong with being a cop. There's nothing wrong with being a white person. It's about where your heart is...We've got to get everyone beyond the xenophobic isolationism.

I'd have no trouble being the barbecue kingpin of America. I'd just add it to all the other things I am: jazz musician, carpenter, architect, engineer and revolutionary.
