If I were white, I could capture the world.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place.
I'd become sort of involved in things that were happening to people. No matter what color they be, whether they be Indians, or Negroes, the poor white person or anyone who was I thought more or less getting a bad shake.
I'm black because that's the way the world sees me.
I'm really white trash.
I don't have to be an imitation of a white woman that Hollywood sort of hoped I'd become. I'm me, and I'm like nobody else.
If I could find a white man who had the Negro sound and the Negro feel, I could make a billion dollars.
I am a red man. If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place.
I'd go from film to film and almost detach from one world and jump in another. I was living as these people and not having a self. I didn't know who I was. And things just get really dark.
I would give up everything rather than have the blood of white men upon the hands of my people.
The white audiences thought I was white, my features being what they are, and at every performance I'd have to take off my gloves to prove I was a spade.
