I am black, and there's no getting around that, but being black doesn't define every aspect of my life.

I don't know that I constantly think about being a black woman.

I'm black because that's the way the world sees me.

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

It's hard being black. You ever been black? I was black once - when I was poor.

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

I consider myself a human being, a Christian, a father, a husband, so many things, before being a black person.

I do consider myself part of black history.
