• The breakdown of the black community, in order to maintain slavery, began with the breakdown of the black family. Men and women were not legally allowed to get married because you couldn't have that kind of love. It might get in the way of the economics of slavery. Your children could be taken from you and literally sold down the river.

• Historically it has been a touchy subject, especially in the south where I am from, people don't really talk about it. If they do talk about it, it is often talked about negatively. Nowadays in light of the Black Lives Matter movement I think people should pay attention to these lives also. I think the Black community will really embrace the film [Moonlight]. It is about us. It is real.

• Muchos blancos no son sensibles al tipo de abusos que los afroamericanos, especialmente los más jóvenes, reciben a manos de los agentes y los departamentos de policía. Creo que para la mayoría de los blancos su experiencia con la policía ha sido buena o neutra porque no interactúan con ella tanto como los miembros de la comunidad negra.

• The fact is in a city like Chicago, for example, unemployment in the black community is around 20 percent for adults, 35 percent for youth, they bail out the banks, public schools, there is a deep divide. We need a plan for reconstruction and redevelopment and I hope that - police are the gatekeepers but behind that gate are these problems of disparities and injustice.

• I'm one of the people who believes that our losses were greater than our gains. Because before the Civil Rights movement we had entrepreneurship in the black community. Right now, in Harlem, if I wanted to get a shoe repaired, I would have a hard time finding a black shoe repairman. On near about every third corner, you could find a decent black barber, decent black laundry, had restaurants in the neighborhood that were open 24 hours. The food was good at 3 o'clock in the morning as at 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

• Mass incarceration is a policy that's kind of built up over the last four decades and it's destroyed families and communities, and something we need to change. And it's fallen disproportionally on black and brown communities, especially black communities, and it's kind of a manifestation of structural racism.

• La belleza del arte literario, la lucha con la iglesia negra, la lucha con la propia identidad en el seno de una complicada comunidad negra que era a la vez un baluarte contra la sociedad blanca en general y un trillo, por así decirlo, para dirimir las diferencias que los negros tenemos entre nosotros.

• I would say except when I have been attacked the black community has seldom seen fit to even mention the gay aspect. And since when I have been attacked I have usually been defended by the black community, I would say that the black newspapers have played it very straight. If I was attacked they simply published that I was attacked, if I was defended they simply said I had been defended. But I don't think they have taken any effort at maligning me or maligning gays or making any effort to give to people anything that wasn't news.

• En mi opinión, la acción política madura es el tipo de acción que implica un programa de reeducación e información que permita a los negros de la comunidad negra ver los frutos que deberían estar recibiendo de los políticos que están por encima de ellos y, de este modo, puedan determinar si el político está cumpliendo realmente su función o no.
