I maintain that i have been a negro three times--a negro baby, a negro girl and a negro woman. still, if you have received no clear cut impression of what the negro in america is like, then you are in the same place with me. there is no the negro here. our lives are so diversified, internal attitudes so varied, appearances and capabilities so different, that there is no possible classification so catholic that it will cover us all, except my people! my people!

More From Zora Neale Hurston

Once committed to fight, cut. everything else is secondary. cut. that is your duty, your purpose, your hunger. there is no rule more important, no commitment that overrides that one. cut. cut from the void, not from bewilderment. cut the enemy as quickly and directly as possible. cut decisively, resolutely. cut into the enemy’s strength. flow through the gaps in his guard. cut him. cut him down utterly. don’t allow him a breath. crush him. cut him without mercy to the depths of his spirit." -richard rahl

The ends of scientific classification are best answered, when the objects are formed into groups respecting which a greater number of general propositions can be made, and those propositions more important, than could be made respecting any other groups into which the same things could be distributed. ... a classification thus formed is properly scientific or philosophical, and is commonly called a natural, in contradistinction to a technical or artificial, classification or arrangement.

I am catholic but i want to say something to the catholics. thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still catholic. these bishops of the catholic churches still pray for the poor, and pray for their president who works for the poor, while the leaders of the catholic church only defend oligarchy.

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.
Kings Men Generations
I think of the chimp, the one with the talking hands. in the course of the experiment, that chimp had a baby. imagine how her trainers must have thrilled when the mother, without prompting, began to sign her newborn. baby, drink milk. baby, play ball. and when the baby died, the mother stood over the body, her wrinkled hands moving with animal grace, forming again and again the words: baby, come hug, baby come hug, fluent now in the language of grief.

That's what keeps me humble because i know my background, know what my mother went through. i never get too high on my stardom or what i can do. my mom always says and my friends all say, ’you're just a very low-maintenance guy’. i don't need too much. glamour and all that stuff don't excite me. i am just glad i have the game of basketball in my life.
