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

There comes a time in every person's life when he has to choose the course his life will take.

I said I was the greatest, not the smartest.

I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin' hell, but as long as they ain't free, I ain't free.

I believe in Allah and in peace. I don't try to move into white neighborhoods... I don’t want to marry a white woman. I was baptized when I was 12, but I didn’t know what I was doing. I’m not a Christian anymore. I know where I’m going and I know the truth and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.

White people cannot destroy me like they have other big ministers of Elijah Mohammed in the past by telling us oh, you speak good, you should be the leader.

No one knows what to say in the loser's locker room.
