 As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes
  Harper Lee

 These kids have grown up together, and they see that all races get along well together. We don't see any black on white, white on black, Hispanic on black. Most of ours is them fighting each other -- black on black, white on white, Hispanic on Hispanic -- more than we have any other. We don't have a lot of racial issues here.

 In time, I want to see us in every major inner-city in this country, including white communities. No matter whether you're black, white, red, brown or yellow, if you can produce green, Corporate America will pay attention to you. Banks will pay attention to you. And so in this capitalistic country that we live in, that's important.
