I don't think many people understand what racism is. The intellectuals use it like toilet paper; it's something they can use. It's not something they live.

Johnnie Cochran hasn't spent 20 years serving people in low-income, minority neighborhoods, ridding them of gangs and narcotics. I have. He hasn't been shot at and punched. I have. I've paid my dues to be able to say I'm not a racist.
We came in as a gang unit. We were tight. I mean we could have murdered people and got away with it.
I don't like having people pick me out on the street. I don't like the status - good, bad or indifferent. I don't like it. I want my private life back, and I'm never going to have it.
Now those are the two--two examples -- pimps, three. They're your third... probably the three most worthless type people in a large city.

I think it's pathetic that a court of law cannot be in a vacuum of the legal system, without the influence of the public threatening to do great bodily harm to people and property. It's really a pathetic statement for our country.
