I want to be elected on my own ability. Only then do you have progress... People should not use race as a basis for labelling me.
I am an African-American in America. That will never change. But I don't have to be defined by that.
I am different than some people would like me to be. I just don't buy into that the personal can be political.

No, I am who I am. I'm not going to change for anybody.
You have to constantly redefine who you are.
I know that my race must change.
