It's impossible to translate Wall Street greed into one or two demands.

The black church often has reinforced certain self images that are damaging to black peoples' beauty, black peoples' confidence.

A rich life consists fundamentally of serving others, trying to leave the world a little better than you found it.

Wall Street is stronger than ever.

I'm a bluesman moving through a blues-soaked America, a blues-soaked world, a planet where catastrophe and celebration... "Joy and Pain" - sit side by side. The blues started off in some field, in some plantation, in some mind, in some imagination, in some heart. The blues blew over to the next plantation, and then the next state. The blues went south to north, got electrified and even sanctified. The blues got mixed up with jazz and gospel and rock and roll.

When ordinary people wake up, elites begin to tremble in their boots. They can't get away with their abuse. They can't get away with subjection. They can't get away with subjugation. They can't get away with exploitation. They can't get away with domination. It takes courage for folk to stand up.

I'm not romanticizing black people, because we've got gangsters like everybody else.
