I think Muslims have become the new Negroes in America. They are being mistreated at airports by the Immigration - everywhere. Islam is a religion of peace. They are wrong.

It would be against all nature for all the Negroes to be either at the bottom top or in between. We will go where the internal drive carries us like everybody else. It is up to the individual.

Negro music and culture are intrinsically improvisational existential. Nothing is sacred. After a decade a musical idea no matter how innovative is threatened.

I grew up watching those blaxploitation movies. Ron O'Neal Richard Roundtree Jim Brown Pam Grier. For the first time I saw 'The Negro' get one over on 'The Man.'

The battle was first waged over the right of the Negro to be classed as a human being with a soul later as to whether he had sufficient intellect to master even the rudiments of learning and today it is being fought out over his social recognition.

Being a star has made it possible for me to get insulted in places where the average Negro could never hope to go and get insulted.

And thus goes segregation which is the most far-reaching development in the history of the Negro since the enslavement of the race.

It doesn't do good to open doors for someone who doesn't have the price to get in. If he has the price he may not need the laws. There is no law saying the Negro has to live in Harlem or Watts.

The Negro revolution is controlled by foxy white liberals by the Government itself. But the Black Revolution is controlled only by God.

But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we all our lives have treated the Negro as an inferior and God is there and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?
