I was told by the general manager that a white player had received a higher raise than me. Because white people required more money to live than black people. That is why I wasn't going to get a raise.

If you destroyed the underpinnings of this great American sport, you are a hated, ugly, detestable person.

People try to make a Greek tragedy of my life, and they can't do it. I'm too happy.

I'll also say, yes, I think the change in black consciuosness in recent years has made me more sensitive to injustice in every area of my life.

The unrestricted competition so commonly advocated does not leave us the survival of the fittest. The unscrupulous succeed best in accumulating wealth.

People love to say we get paid a lot of money to play a game, but it stopped being a game when you start getting paid.

I don't blame the players today for the money. I blame the owners. They started it. They wanna give it to 'em? More power to 'em.

If you took money out of politics, you'd solve 80 percent of all the problems.
