One of the keys for a black leader to be effective is that white people can’t be afraid of him. White people have all the money and power, and if they’re going to help black people, if they’re going to listen to their complaints, they have to be approached in a nonthreatening way. | |

From his book: “Who’s Afraid Of A Large Black Man?“ | |
[From the preface to his interview with then Senator Barack Obama] | |
