As I Ran For President, I Hoped That One Child Would Come Out Of The Ghetto Like I Did, Could Look At Me Walk Across The Stage With Governors And Senators And Know They Didn't Have To Be A Drug Dealer, They Didn't Have To Be A Hoodlum, They Didn't Have To Be A Gangster. They Could Stand Up From A Broken Home, On Welfare, And They Could Run For President Of The United States.

I Don't Think Dr. King Helped Racial Harmony, I Think He Helped Racial Justice. What I Profess To Do Is Help The Oppressed And If I Cause A Load Of Discomfort In The White Community And The Black Community, That In My Opinion Means I'm Being Effective, Because I'm Not Trying To Make Them Comfortable. The Job Of An Activist Is To Make People Tense And Cause Social Change.
