When you’re a black woman, you seldom get to do what you just want to do; you always do what you have to do Picture Quote #1

There exists a black kingdom which the eyes of man avoid because its landscape fails signally to flatter them.

And anything said about truth may equally well be said about error: the delusion will be no greater Picture Quote #1

I strongly believe the black culture spends too much time, energy and effort raising, praising, and teasing our black children about the dubious glories of professional sports Picture Quote #1

Atheistic evolution isn’t an intelligent belief, as atheists would have the black community believe Picture Quote #1

I’m glad that young black people are successful with the music. I’m not a hater Picture Quote #1

As black folks we’re always sensitive. As a black person it’s always racial Picture Quote #1

I have found people on both sides of the aisle, white and black, that’ll give you the shirt off their back. And I’ve also found people that won’t give you a piece of bread if you’re starving to death Picture Quote #1

When a sports movie really works, it gets you on all levels, because the stakes are high. It’s black and white. It’s win or lose Picture Quote #1

Black people were very angry with me for writing the book. A lot of people didn’t believe me, or didn’t want to believe me, and that used to really bother me. It was a very painful and difficult time Picture Quote #1

Baby, black promoters oppressed me before white promoters ever got hold of me. Don’t talk skin to me Picture Quote #1

I don’t think because I hang out with enough black people, I’m gonna turn black. What kind of rationalization is that? I’m just friends with people that I like. I don’t care what skin color you are Picture Quote #1

As a black man, you run from the cops. It’s different now, but back when I was coming up, you run Picture Quote #1

Obama, he wouldn’t have been in office without what happened to me and a lot of black people before me. He would never have been in that situation, no doubt in my mind. He would get there eventually, but it would have been a lot longer. So I am glad for what I went through. It opened the doors for a lot of people Picture Quote #1

If you’re gay and you can’t hold hands, or you’re black and you can’t catch a taxi, or you’re a woman and you can’t go into the park, you are aware there’s a menace. That’s costly on a psychic level. The world should be striving to make all its members secure Picture Quote #1

I’ve heard that I’ve gotten a lighter complexion, as if I’ve bleached my skin. I think that is so stupid and ludicrous. For those who want to bleach their skin, that’s fine. I just didn’t bleach mine. I’m a black woman. I don’t want to be anything but a black woman Picture Quote #1

Amongst black people, you have always heard it said that once a black man reaches a certain level, especially if you are an entertainer, you get a white trophy woman. I didn’t make that up Picture Quote #1

As a kid I didn’t see black cowboys on the screen. What that said to me was that there were things I couldn’t do or be because of my color. What we see others like us do gives us permission to expand our own horizons Picture Quote #1

You don’t see a lot of black rock stars. The music industry tends to be segregated stylistically. It’s hard for a black artist to cross over to rock music Picture Quote #1

Black people lived right by the railroad tracks, and the train would shake their houses at night. I would hear it as a boy, and I thought: I’m gonna make a song that sounds like that Picture Quote #1

In theory, cars are fairly simple. If they don’t start, it’s either the fuel system or the electrical system. Teach yourself about the path of each in your engine and tracing it is fairly straightforward. But at the beginning, mastering each new system seems like an unreachable shore. The car is effectively a black box Picture Quote #1

Black people don’t talk about diabetes that much. I never knew anything. I thought everyone had an uncle with a leg cut off! Picture Quote #1
