The American Negro has been entirely brainwashed from ever seeing or thinking of himself, as he should, as a part of the non-white peoples of the world.

My alma mater was books, a good library.

They asked if I knew what 'conscientious objector' meant. I told them that when the white man asked me to go off somewhere and fight and maybe die to preserve the way the white man treated the black man in America, then my conscience made me object.

A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything.

When you aren't affiliated with anything, and then you look at something, you look at it with your eye to the best of your ability.

Racism is a human problem and a crime that is absolutely so ghastly that a person who is fighting racism is well within his rights to fight against it by any means necessary until it is eliminated.

I believe in human rights for everyone, and none of us is qualified to judge each other and that none of us should therefore have that authority.
