I never though much about race.

I think sports is one of the places where race plays itself out publicly. Although we pretend it doesn't.

I think the thing about it is when you grow up in Chicago there's such a thing as putting on airs, you know? And you just learn not to put on airs. Don't act like, 'Oh boy, I'm somebody.' They'll slap you down.

Whites would rather not be involved in race matters, I think.

I don't run anybody else's race. When the gun goes off, I must evaluate with my own body and see. Then, as the race develops, I run accordingly. So you can say that I do not have a set tactic for any race.

Race is something that's always haunted American policing.

I have never made a decision based on race and never will.
