In most places in the country, voting is looked upon as a right and a duty, but in Chicago it's a sport.

Because I'm a civil rights activist, I am also an animal rights activist. Animals and humans suffer and die alike. Violence causes the same pain, the same spilling of blood, the same stench of death, the same arrogant, cruel and vicious taking of life. We shouldn't be a part of it.

White folks are the luckiest people: Finally a black president and he's a behaved one. Went to the best schools, best colleges, never raises his voice. I ran for president in 1968. I tell (audiences) if I won, I would have dug up the Rose Garden and planted watermelon!

The world is fed by greed.

Hell hath no fury like a liberal scorned.

America is concerned more with the possibility of moon folks than the reality of hungry poor folks.

Audiences feel no hatred from me. Because I'm not bitter.
