There's a God force inside of you that gives you a will to live.

I never learned hate at home, or shame. I had to go to school for that.

Wouldn't it be a helluva joke if all this were really burnt cork and you people were being tolerant for nuthin'?

So why would I want to call myself a conservative after the way them white racist thugs have used that word to hide behind? They call themselves new Republicans.

When you look at Hitler and those thugs, you can put Walmart right next to them.

If all you can do is judge a person by their appearance, because you don't have the spirit to judge someone from within, you're in trouble.

When I went south in the 1960s, I knew I could die. If I went down there and did what I did up in Chicago and made all of those hatin' white folks laugh, then I would have been defeated.
