Obama, he wouldn't have been in office without what happened to me and a lot of black people before me. he would never have been in that situation, no doubt in my mind. he would get there eventually, but it would have been a lot longer. so i am glad for what i went through. it opened the doors for a lot of people.

More From Rodney King

White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'

If it wasn't for the british musicians, a lot of us black musicians in america would still be catchin' the hell that we caught long before. so thanks to them, thanks to all you guys. you opened doors that i don't think would have been opened in my lifetime. when white america started paying attention to the blues - it started opening a lot of doors that had been closed to us.

Before one goes through the gate one may not be aware there is a gate one may think there is a gate to go through and look a long time for it without finding it one may find it and it may not open if it opens one may be through it as one goes through it one sees that the gate one went through was the self that went through it no one went through a gate there was no gate to go through no one ever found a gate no one ever realized there was never a gate

Obama wouldn't have been voted president if he weren't black. somebody asked me over the weekend why does somebody earn a lot of money have a lot of money, because she's black. it was oprah. no, it can't be. yes, it is. there's a lot of guilt out there, show we're not racists, we'll make this person wealthy and big and famous and so forth.... if obama weren't black he'd be a tour guide in honolulu or he'd be teaching saul alinsky constitutional law or lecturing on it in chicago.
Stupid Teaching Weekend
I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.
Character Thinking Black
If hillary clinton would have left bill, that would have ended his presidency, not via impeachment but that would have elevated his total lack of character. it would have been the discussion. it would have been the topic point. she shielded all that. there would have been no vast right-wing conspiracy theme that the media did pick up to blame for all that. there wouldn't have been any hillary and bill foundation. there wouldn't have been all this fundraising. if she hadn't, she wouldn't have been picked for obama's whatever if she had run and lost, if everything else had happened.

The whole world is run on bluff.
Running World Bluffs
Nobody has seen the trekking birds take their way towards such warmer spheres as do not exist, or rivers break their course through rocks and plains to run into an ocean which is not to be found. for god does not create a longing or a hope without having a fulfilling reality ready for them. but our longing is our pledge, and blessed are the homesick, for they shall come home.
Running Ocean Blessed
Rosemary bubbled with delight at the trunks. her naivete responded whole-heartedly to the expensive simplicity of the divers, unaware of its complexity and its lack of innocence, unaware that it was all a selection of quality rather than quantity from the run of the world's bazaar; and that the simplicity of behavior also, the nursery-like peace and good will, the emphasis on the simpler virtues, was part of a desperate bargain with the gods and had been attained through struggles she could not have guessed at.

The debate corporation is a corporation. it's funded by corporations. it's relayed by media corporations to the public. it's created by the two parties, which are corporations. we should have public presidential debates all over america run by public institutions.
