People know about the Klan and the overt racism, but the killing of one's soul little by little, day after day, is a lot worse than someone coming in your house and lynching you.

The Klan had used fear, intimidation and murder to brutally oppress over African-Americans who sought justice and equality and it sought to respond to the young workers of the civil rights movement in Mississippi in the same way.

People have really strong images of what church is, and it's almost certainly not the same as mine.

I regard the Klan, the Anglo-Saxon clubs and White American societies, as far as the Negro is concerned, as better friends of the race than all other groups of hypocritical whites put together.

I think a lot of bands are influenced by religious symbolism and not even necessarily Christianity or Catholicism.

For a radical feminist to try to change the church was like a black person trying to reform the Ku Klux Klan.

I was raised Catholic, and I remember in all the pamphlets and pictures we'd look at, Jesus was basically blonde with blue eyes. He kind of looked like Jared Leto.

Well, I had nightmares when I was doing the Klan story all the time. I had a recurring nightmare of basically being exposed as a Jew inside the Klan compound.

We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides.
