It is white people across this country who are incapable of allowing me to live where I want. I know I can live anyplace I want to live. So somebody had to write a bill to tell white people, “When a black man comes to vote, don’t bother him.” That bill was for white people. Every time I tried I was shot, killed or jailed, beaten or economically deprived. I knew I could vote all the time and that it wasn’t a privilege but my right. So some boys had to write a bill to tell that white man, “He’s a human being don’t stop him.” That bill was for the white man, not for me. Every time I tried to go into a public place they stopped me. Therefore I have the right to go into any public place. I also know that while I am black I am a human being. I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people.
