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

You know, I always say white is not a colour, white is an attitude, and if you haven't got trillions of dollars in the bank that you don't need, you can't be white.

If you can justify killing to eat meat, you can justify the conditions of the ghetto. I cannot justify either one.

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.

If they took all the drugs, nicotine, alcohol and caffeine off the market for six days, they'd have to bring out the tanks to control you.

I never thought I'd see the day that I would see white folks as frightened, or more so, than black folks was during the civil rights movement when we was in Mississippi.
