My definition of good is that you understand that this is a question of power. That you be willing to give up some power. That you be willing to give up some resources.

From Sister Souljah

Black people don't know what white people are talking about when they talk about a Sister Souljah moment. I tell them it's the moment you meet a proud, beautiful black woman you can never forget.

From Sister Souljah

From Sister Souljah

So for everybody who allows themselves to be separated from me because I said 'African' instead of 'Nubian' or 'Black' or 'Kemet' or 'original' or 'Israelite,' don't be so foolish.

From Sister Souljah

From Sister Souljah

I think America loves cooperative black men. I am not against Colin Powell, but I know who he is.

From Sister Souljah

I don't want to be limited or ghettoized in any way.

From Sister Souljah

Shakespeare wrote about love. I write about love. Shakespeare wrote about gang warfare, family feuds and revenge. I write about all the same things.

From Sister Souljah

I was well known to African Americans before Bill Clinton discovered me. He was like Christopher Columbus riding up on something he didn't understand.
