“I just wish all these young black kids would realize how significant it is to stop acting a fool out there, killing each other, not getting their education. You know, people have died to put us in a situation to be successful.”

Poor white people and poor black people just don’t know how much they have in common. Rich people don’t give a damn about either group.

The main thing to do is relax and let your talent do the work.

He’s got to bring something stronger than that. That’s like bringing milk to a bar, it’s not strong enough

Unfortunately, as I tell my white friends, we as black people, we’re never going to be successful not because of you white people but because of other black people.

Half Man, Half Sit-Out-The-Season.

This is why I hate white people. You guys try to turn everything into a racial issue.

I don’t have time to put up with the politics. Who’s a Democrat? Who’s a Republican? Who’s liberal? Who’s conservative? Man, can my daughter just go to a school and not get killed? Can these people get a good job? That’s what I’m concerned about.

When I speak to kids I tell them, ‘Hey, you think your parents are a pain in the ass now, but they’re going to get smarter as you get older.’

I’d never buy my girl a watch… she’s already got a clock over the stove.

The stairs of our industry must be accessible to all. Let’s climb.

My favorite color is black.

Labor in the white skin can never free itself as long as labor in the black skin is branded.

Political division, based on color, is entirely artificial; and when it disappears, so will the domination of one color group by another.

Fighting for equality is a celebration of independence. Fighting for black lives is a celebration of independence.

We’re all human, aren’t we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving.
