“What the cops did to Rodney King was wrong, and the officers who beat him should be sent straight to prison.”

The kids from the streets don’t want preaching or messages. They want what they can identify with. They want to hear about the reality of their situation, not fairy tales. They don’t care if it’s ugly; they just want reality.

Another murder I committed made the front page.

If you want to get your point across, you gotta cuss.

I have seven children by six different mothers. Maybe success was too good to me.

Movies don’t make people act a fool. People act a fool because they want to act a fool.

The boys in the hood are always hard.

I’m not a registered Republican or Democrat. I don’t even vote.

Get thee behind me Satan, and push me along. I’m kin to the devil.

A solution to stop gang banging: SNOW!!

Nuthin’ can avoid this shot ’cause it’s hittin’ It’s so cool when you touch it, wear a mitten

I go to correctional facilities and talk to kids there. They have little kids in there who are, like, 12 years old, stealing cars and stuff like that.

It is my hope that people today will see that, in another time, in another period, when we saw the need for people to speak up, to organize, to mobilize, and to do something about injustice, we came together.

I think justice is important because there are many injustices in the world and I hate injustice.

Of all the forms of inequality, injustice in health care is the most shocking and inhumane.

It is better to protest than to accept injustice.

One who is injured ought not to return the injury, for on no account can it be right to do an injustice; and it is not right to return an injury, or to do evil to any man, however much we have suffered from him.

Human beings are not our enemy. Our enemy is not the other person. Our enemy is the violence, ignorance, and injustice in us and in the other person.

As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our world, none of us can truly rest.

Injustice in the end produces independence.
