I love the life I live. The Lord blessed me to be independent. I am independent.
— Charles Evers
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 don't like a lot of social programs either because it makes you non-productive.
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.
The problem is, the Republican Party hasn't done anything to make this country better and I speak as a Republican.
The Republican Party does not reach out.
It's wrong to kill.
The main thing I believe in is freedom.
I'm for economic independence.
I believe in most of the things Republicans stand for.
I'm against an all-white anything or an all-black anything.
And we never got the mule, let alone the forty acres.
Go down to the Republican headquarters. They ain't got a single black working there. Not one.
Welfare makes you dependent upon someone to take care of you.
The least I can do is show Medgar I still care. And Martin.
This is a racist country.
I'd rather be dead and in heaven than afraid to do what I think is right.
The Republican Party is not inclusive.
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.
I believe welfare makes you lazy and unproductive.
I'm for prayer in schools.
I feel there should be blacks in every Party.
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 took Bobby Kennedy through the delta and he cried like a baby.
Speaking as a black person, welfare is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.
Two people will never be President in my lifetime. A woman and a black.
Any time the country is split 50/50, the leader is wrong.
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.
Iraq did nothing to us. Iraq was not responsible for 9/11.
I loved Clinton; not as a Democrat, but as a person.
I don't believe in welfare.
I'm against abortion.
I'm a Republican, by the way.
We've begun to get justice.
