I am the attorney general of the United States, but I am also a black man.

I am just a young black man living my dream, people are trying to smear my reputation.

I am going to stop calling you a white man and I'm going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.

The man who raised me is black. Culturally, he made me who I am. He was a theatre director, so he also guided me artistically.

I am not merely a baseball player. I am a black man who has done what he wants, gotten what he wanted, and will continue to get it.

I am for violence if non-violence means we continue postponing a solution to the American black man's problem just to avoid violence.

I now realize that I am a gay man before anything else. Other gays may think they're a Jew first, or black, or a banker, but I'm gay.

When I hear of an 'equity' in a case like this, I am reminded of a blind man in a dark room - looking for a black hat - which isn't there.

I'm grounded in who I am, and I am a confident black man. A confident, Nigerian, black, chocolate man. I'm proud of my heritage, and no man can take that away from me.

I am Charles Mingus. Half-black man. Yellow man. Half-yellow. Not even yellow, nor white enough to pass for nothing but black and not too light enough to be called white.
