My biggest accomplishment is that people look at me like a man first, not a black man. I was at a wedding, my wife and a few friends were the only Negroes there, and I overheard a lady say, "Look, there's O. J. Simpson and some niggers." Isn't that weird? That sort of thing hurts me, even though it's what I strive for, to be a man first. Maybe it's money, a class thing. The Negro is always identified with poverty. But then you think of Willie Mays as black, but not Bill Cosby. So it's more than just money. what I'm doing is not for principles or black people. No, I'm dealing first for O. J. Simpson, his wife and his baby. (it) |
