People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.
I am pleased that God made my skin black - but I wish He had made it thicker.
I'm a human being. I'm not a piece of property. I'm not a consignment of goods.
I was told by the general manager that a white player had received a higher raise than me. Because white people required more money to live than black people. That is why I wasn't going to get a raise.
