We have a lot of black Anglo-Saxons. Their skin is black, but their brain is white. When I get real mad at them, I call them graham crackers.

I think about never losing my voice, never giving in, never selling out, always keeping black, always sticking to the street. Staying neighborhood and not Hollywood.

What does America love more than one white male?

Hillary Clinton could say she was a woman and running for president. And Sarah Palin could say she was a woman and running for vice-president. But Obama couldn't say, 'I'm black and I'm running for president.' It couldn't come out of his mouth. He couldn't say that because, if he did, he'd lose votes.

America has a rap sheet. You can't police the world and tell the world how to act when you're just as bad yourself.

If you have money and you have fame, but you don't have any confidence in your blackness, then it's all for nothing.

Majority doesn't rule. One person can change the history of the world.
