You know the Scripture says "be not deceived for God is not mocked; whatsoever a man sow that shall he also reap." And one day, I don't know how they're going to get it, but they're going to get some of it back. They are scared to death and are more afraid now than we are.

If I am truly free, who can tell me how much of my freedom I can have today?

You know what really made me sick? I was in Washington, D.C. at another time reading in a paper where the U.S. gives Byron de la Beckwith - the man who is charged with murdering Medgar Evers - they were giving him so much money for some land and I ask "Is this America?" We can no longer ignore the fact that America is NOT the "land of the free and the home of the brave."

Actually, some of the things I experienced as a child still linger on; what the white man has done to the black people in the south!

If the white man gives you anything - just remember when he gets ready he will take it right back. We have to take for ourselves.

You know I'm not hung up on this liberating myself from the "black" man - I'm not going to try that thing.

People have got to get together and work together. I'm tired of the kind of oppression that white people have inflicted on us and are still trying to inflict.
