Anybody who runs for president in this country and comes out as strong as the Democrats were about helping the poor folks and black folks is not going to win.

I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away.

Hands that picked cotton can now pick the mayor.

I'm for economic independence.

Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.

I feel there should be blacks in every Party.

The Republican Party is not inclusive.
