Every man who is not for us in this prolonged struggle for liberty is responsible for the present degradation of the mothers of the race. It is pitiful to see how few men ever have made our cause their own, but while leaving us to fight our battle alone, they have been unsparing in their criticism of every failure.

Now, I always look at the long term and by doing that, obviously, I can stay calm through the storm.

The way I feel about Crunk Feminists.

That's their issue: How dare I say I approach Rick Ross with love!
