I warn black Americans'don't get too mixed. A little is fine, but not to the point where you're out of the family.

Africans believed that the woman's bare breast represented God, the circle of life and the moral cleanliness of human beings.

I have much more power and protection than Salman Rushdie, because I'm an American citizen, but yes, I live in terrible fear for my life and for the lives of my children. My whole family has been threatened, my adoptive parents had to sell their house and move out of Washington, D.C. because of death threats caused by my work and activism.

I met rich men and they became my boyfriends. When I was a kept woman'it was a relationship.

Even though I couldn't speak English, there were many times that my black-American parents could read my mind and I could read theirs.

The Black woman is the most unprotected, unloved woman on earth...she is the only flower on earth...that grows unwatered.

People don't want truth, they just want trash.
