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.

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.

I can't change the past, but one person can change the future - anything can happen.

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

If your hair is relaxed, white people are relaxed. If your hair is nappy, they're not happy.

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.

You can't pick when you're touched. You can't pick the time. It just is. It's the reality. What it is, is. I can't change the past. I can only deal with the present and the future.
