I wish people would love everybody else the way they love me. It would be a better world.

I never push in front my muscles, only my religion, so I'm protected.

Now I had won the gold medal. But it didn't mean anything, because I didn't have the right color skin.

So now I'm going to forget the 400 years of lynching and killing raping and depriving my people feeding of justice and equality and the lowest of low last respect and I'm going to look at two or three white people who are trying to do right and don't see the other million who are trying to kill me? I'm not that big of a fool.

I calculate that I took 20,000 punches, but I earned millions and kept a lot of it. I may talk slow, but my mind is OK.

Women are not equal with men, that's sure. When the woman is in danger she always looks to the man for help. We are superior by nature. The black or white woman needn't worry in life because the world is ruled by the white man.

If America were in a just war I'd volunteer for the front line. I'd do the shuffling and win the war.
