I was taught from a young age that many people would treat me as a second-class citizen because I was African-American and because I was female.

There's no such thing as second class citizenship. That's like telling me you can be a little bit pregnant.

Tremendous changes are taking place in our country, eradicating the concept of second-class citizenship.

I felt early on I wasn't going to be a respectable citizen.

I love just working. I love the idea of being a working class citizen.

I'm tired of living in a police state.

I'm tired of being considered some kind of criminal or dangerous throwback for no other reason than that I value, exercise, and defend my rights under the first ten Amendments to the United States Constitution.

I've been a law-abiding citizen ever since I grew up in the Bronx, New York.

I am president now, and tired of being kicked around.

I begin to feel like I was in the last generation of Americans who took a civics class.
