Suffering Does Not Necessarily Ennoble You.

My Goal Is To Get Everybody In America To Do Their Family Tree.

Each Individual Has A Responsibility To Get Out Of Bed, Learn Their Abcs, Learn Your Math Tables, Not Use Race And Racism As An Excuse.

I Think Literacy Is Everything.

A More Humane Form Of Capitalism Is About The Best I Think We Can Get. Which Might Sound Very Reformist Or Conservative, But That's Basically Where I Am.

One Principle I've Been Fighting For That Doesn't Endear Me To A Lot Of People Is That Black People Can Be Just As Complicated And Screwed Up As White People. Our Motives Can Be Just As Base And Violent. Suffering Does Not Necessarily Ennoble You.
