Do you know who the real hypocrite is? It's the federal government and the Justice Department. It's a fraud; it's a lie. They have no interest in the education of black children. They are only interested in the politics of it.

Nothing has been more detrimental to me than to be considered a symbol, because I never stood for any of that...

I had my own divine mission.
