Welfare makes you dependent upon someone to take care of you.
Charles Evers
Speaking as a black person, welfare is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.
Iraq did nothing to us. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.
I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.
The Republican Party is not inclusive.
And we never got the mule, let alone the forty acres.
It's wrong to kill.
I'm a Republican and I'm gonna stay a Republican because they need somebody like me to stay in the Party and keep hammering away.
I'm a Republican, by the way.
We need to take responsibility and educate people. That's why black folks don't like me. I always say it's our responsibility to make safe neighborhoods. It's our job to get them cleaned up.
I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person.
I'm for prayer in schools.
We've begun to get justice.
We've begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it.
I'm against an all-white anything or an all-black anything.
I feel there should be blacks in every Party.
I believe in most of the things Republicans stand for.
I'm against abortion.
I'm for economic independence.
I don't believe in welfare.
I believe welfare makes you lazy and unproductive.
The main thing I believe in is freedom.
So I'm in the Republican Party for the same reason I was in the Democratic Party: to make sure blacks are included, along with everyone else.
The Republican Party does not reach out.
The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.
Any time the country is split 50/50, the leader is wrong.
This is a racist country.
Anybody who runs for president in this country and comes out as strong as the Democrats were about helping the poor folks and black folks is not going to win.
Two people will never be President in my lifetime. A woman and a black.
The least I can do is show Medgar I still care. And Martin.
I don't like a lot of social programs either because it makes you non-productive.
I took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.
Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.
I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.
