Sometimes what he says proverb

 Sometimes what he says may sound to some people like cliches. But he says things, and in ways, that especially in the black community, we understand exactly what he's saying, because we've heard those things since childhood.
  Blair Underwood

 In Champaign you have this really nurturing kind of garage rock community, where you have bands like the Living Blue, and then you have the Whip [WWHP-FM 98.3, a Central Illinois Americana radio station] people. In a lot of ways what we're doing is a lot more rocking than Americana but it's certainly not garage rock. It's somewhere in between. So we've kind of found an audience in the reach of those people. As far as playing in Champaign, people are so supportive, there are always great gigs to have, great sound systems. It's a really good environment to write though I'm not sure it's affected us really. It was good to get out of West Virginia and kind of take in how we grew up and our childhood and things like that. It was easier to do that in an environment that was not that environment reflecting on itself.

 The black community in Bermuda does better than just about any black community in the world, ... The United States couldn't even imagine a black president. It hasn't even had a female. All these things we take for granted.

 I think people are just getting bored of the clichés. And I think people are finding more and more they can do different things and try other things out and not be dependent on ... whatever. I think that's a very good thing in music in general. And a lot of people are doing that a lot now.

 I don't understand why some people will only accept a guitar if it has an instantly recognizable guitar sound. Finding ways to use the same guitar people have been using for 50 years to make sounds that no one has heard before is truly what gets me off.

 It's not that I'm angry at him. I love Jimmy. I just want him to understand that there are better ways to deal with things. She appreciated his pe𝗑y appreciation for her intelligence and unique perspective. He has to set standards. There are ways to act when things don't go well.

 I've heard from people who have said some of the nicest things I've ever heard in my career and I've heard vicious things, ... But, hey, we're doing the same thing to the movies every week, so if I can't take it I'd better deal.

 Which when the apostles, Barnabas and Paul, heard of, they rent their clothes, and ran in among the people, crying out, / And saying, Sirs, why do ye these things? We also are men of like passions with you, and preach unto you that ye should turn from these vanities unto the living God, which made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all things that are therein: / Who in times past suffered all nations to walk in their own ways.

 [Like I said, it's all about perspective. So now can you at least try to understand what caused Felipe Alou's visceral passion when he heard those hurtful words spill out of the radio?] I grew up in a time when people weren't afraid to fight or even risk dying to change things, ... But things are different today. People are so busy, and so compromised now that they are sometimes afraid to say or do anything when something wrong happens.

 I heard all the black people buzzing about this man in Brooklyn named Jackie Robinson. I asked who he was and they told me. Right then, I said, 'I want to play for the Dodgers someday.' That was my childhood dream.

 White people scare the crap out of me... I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord... never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here— have a nice day!

 There are right ways and wrong ways to make your voice heard, and we certainly understand the need for students to make their voices heard. But skipping school and causing a distraction on a public street, causing a disturbance, are not ways to make your voices heard!

 We wanted to mix both documentaries and fiction films. We wanted to offer a variety of different areas of the world, and we wanted to feature some things that people have heard of, and other things that very few people have heard of.

 White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!

 Our IRBs are excellent, the people who are on it are excellent, and they do a very good job, ... And to make it sound like they are not reviewing these things, I don't understand where they're coming from.
