I'm not a racist.

It's pretty awful being told you're a racist.

I'm not a racist, and I'm not a murderer.

Not everybody is absolutely stupid. Why on earth would I be racist, what would I be trying to achieve?

I am sickened by the idea that anyone would think of me in racist terms.

Racism tears down your insides so that no matter what you achieve, you're not quite up to snuff.

Racist people are few, in the minority. But you can do nothing to change them. You can talk, you can do what you want, but you can't do anything because they are just stupid people.

Nobody wants to be racist and I think that most people aren't.

A black person grows up in this country - and in many places - knowing that racism will be as familiar as salt to the tongue. Also, it can be as dangerous as too much salt. I think that you must struggle for betterment for yourself and for everyone.

I am not an African. I am an American.
