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.

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 could easily have decided that life was cruel, that being black meant everything was stacked against me.

There is a perception within our community and the world that black people don't love each other. That we don't fight for each other. That perception is so dangerous. We need positive images to counter the negative portrayals we see every day. And positive doesn't mean perfect. Perfect is boring.

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.

I realize that I'm black, but I like to be viewed as a person, and this is everybody's wish.

Sadly, black people disassociate ourselves from the things which make us who we are, identifying them as lesser, or inferior. It's a form of self hate. So, with reckless abandon, we strive to be like the majority.

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.

The less I talk about being black, the better.
