My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

I'm not an Uncle Tom. . .. I'm going to be here for 40 years. For those who don't like it, get over it.

You didn't think of angels as white or black. They were angels.

And I don't think that government has a role in telling people how to live their lives. Maybe a minister does, maybe your belief in God does, maybe there's another set of moral codes, but I don't think government has a role.

[T]he courts are so willing to assume that anything that is predominantly black must be inferior.... The mere fact that a school is black does not mean that it is the product of an unconstitutional violation.

It really bugs me that someone will tell me, after I spent 20 years being educated, how I'm supposed to think.

I do think that our freedoms are at risk.
