"African-American' was not made to do anything except try to create a super man ... 'Oh, don't you dare feel bad about yourself, you're African-American!' No. You're an American. ... Look at what happened with Martin Luther King. That makes you an American. Judge not by the color of your skin. And you weren't over in Africa. Your great-great-great grandfather was. ... But you weren't. And sure, this country sucked for blacks. Sucked, beyond sucked for a long time. But it doesn't now .... Be proud to be an American."
