When I played, I received racial abuse but I was just one of a few black players and we weren't backed up by the authorities.

When we go to court, they are going to have to come up with all the evidence where they are accusing me and my dedicated deputies of racial profiling. It's always easy to throw the race card in there and that's what they're doing in Washington today, that they're concerned about racial profiling.

Am I a racist? No. That simple. And if that's not good enough for you, too bad.

And the whole thing is that you're treated like a step-child. Here it was down here, everything in the black, because they were stealing, basically. Stealing from us old country boys down here.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

Groups like the NAACP, The Anti-Defamation League, NOW and GLAAD, will respond to derisive language directed at their constituents. The price paid by those who cavalierly chose to verbally disrespect the dignity of African Americans, Jews, women and homosexuals is steep.

Whites would accuse you of causing trouble when all you were doing was acting like a normal human being instead of cringing.

I'm not a racist, that's what so insane about this, and yet it's said, it comes through, it fires out of me, and even now in the passion that's here as I confront myself.

The word 'racism' is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything - and demanding evidence makes you a 'racist.'

I'm not going to sit here now and say 'do this,' or 'do that.' But you must - must - expunge any vestige of racism.
