There are so many people who have this idea of who I am because I'm black.

I'm an African American.

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.

Merely by describing yourself as black you have started on a road towards emancipation, you have committed yourself to fight against all forces that seek to use your blackness as a stamp that marks you out as a subservient being.

Learn to love being black.

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

I'm the blackest villain of all time.

And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.' In other words, I - my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that. I take that and stand.
