• I travel a lot. It used to be, when I would go to any country, I could guarantee that the first question would establish my name, and the fact that I've written Roots, and the third question, at least no later than the fourth question would not be a question, so much as a statement, something like, "We understand that in America white people do such and such bad things to black people."

• Durante mucho tiempo, los medios de comunicación cubrieron la música rap y el hip hop de la misma manera que cubren a mucha gente negra, gente de color, ya sabes, las malas noticias pasan a ser noticias. Solían tener estos pequeños coloquialismos estúpidos que aparecen como, "¿Sabes qué? Ninguna noticia es una mala noticia!" Engañan a las masas para que piensen que cualquier noticia es buena para ti. Y yo creo que eso es una gilipollez.

• We kind of reduce our responsibility to not saying the N-word and to condemning the Klansmen, rather than saying many of our celebrated institutions are systemically racist. Many of our institutions that deal with law enforcement or controlling the bodies of Black people are systemically racist. Many of our educational institutions are systemically racist. Many of our corporate institutions are systemically racist. We don't have those conversations, so things don't change.

• Escribí dos poemas sobre las 81 revueltas: Di Great Insohreckshan y Mekin Histri. Escribí esos dos poemas desde la perspectiva de quienes habían participado en los disturbios de Brixton.

• Donald Trump's slogan: "Let's make America great again." And when I hear that, that seems to suggest there was a moment in the past when America really was great, you know, when women knew their places, when we could set dogs on black people in Mississippi, when young people went and sit in at lunch counters and were assaulted by others. That's about the death of memory. That's about memory being basically suppressed in a way that doesn't allow people to understand that there were things that happened in the past that we not only have to remember, we have to prevent from happening again.
