The less I talk about being black, the better.

I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love.

Black is not a color.

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

There haven't been enough profound things written about what being black means and what a black character is. Nobody knows.

I don't mind being black. I'm black out loud. It's more than the people that they are, it's the condition that they represent.

Nothing is out of our realm, because it has nothing to do with color. As black people, we're not different from anyone else, other than the exterior.

Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time.

It isn't a matter of black is beautiful as much as it is white is not all that's beautiful.

I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.
