Education is the thing. This black-white bit – I don’t deal with people that way. I deal with it as if you are another individual. If you do something that perturbs me or aggravates me, I do not think you’ve done it because I’m black.

They know that I love them, but I am forever telling them, “Get into that seat so you can have choices in this world.”
