“If you are born black, and you don't accept your natural status as a victim, then the validity of your blackness is immediately called into question.”

“We say it all the time: the leftist media is inciting violence and hate by calling everybody a racist and a white supremacist.”

“I grew up in a household listening to hip-hop music.”

“Long before Donald Trump came down the escalator, Kanye West was public enemy No. 1 for simply trying to tell the truth to people about things that were going on, so I'm unsurprised that he supports me and my ideas and me just thinking freely.”

“The reason that we're seeing so many people flee the Left - I like to call them liberal refugees, like myself - is because they do not allow you to think freely. If you agree with them 95 percent and disagree on 5 percent, you are essentially excommunicated. You're not allowed to be a liberal anymore. You're not allowed to be a Democrat anymore.”

“I can't think of the last Asian that I ran into that talked about internment camps. But black people always want to talk to me about slavery.”

“That was the moment I wanted to use bitcoin: when I saw Harriet Tubman on a $20 bill. It's like, when you see all the slave movies, it's like, why you gotta keep reminding us about slavery? Why don't you put Michael Jordan on a $20 bill?”

“You can't speak as a conservative on campus without being boycott, without being protested, without students lining up and playing music loudly so that they can drown out the sound of your voices.”

“Fascists, Antifa attacked me, and an all-black police force in Philadelphia, and they claim to be fighting racism.”

“If you look at things historically, Kanye West has really represented the battering ram against political correctness.”

“There is going to be a major black exit from the Democrat Party, and they are going to actually have to actually compete for their votes in 2020.”

“Liberals believe that they own blacks - still. They believe they're something proprietary about being black in this country, and if you deviate from the way they want you to think, in the way they want you to act, they grow violent.”

“I actually remember being in 3rd grade and piecing together in my head that one of my guy friends was homosexual.”

“I'm not a politician, I'm not in Congress. You know what I mean? I'm just a black girl that makes YouTube videos and tries to teach dialogue in campuses so they think before stepping into a voting booth.”

“The polls told us that Hillary Clinton was going to win, and she didn't. I wasn't fooled by the polls.”

“Racism exists, but it is far less rampant than ignorance, and ignorance can be cured through experience.”

“I like to say now that the reason I'm conservative is because I used to be a liberal, and I learned a lot.”

“I learned conservatism through my grandfather; I didn't know that was the name. I didn't know these were conservative principles. Starting his life on a sharecropping farm. Working tremendously hard. Five years old, picking cotton and laying tobacco out to dry on a farm, and today he now owns that farm.”

“My take, after spending some time with him, is that Kanye West is not a conservative. He's not a Republican, but he is a free thinker, and he's an independent thinker.”

“For so long, black conservatives have not been able to have a voice; people who have bi-racial children, people in bi-racial relationships, it has been so black and white. I blame Obama. His eight years in office did a lot of damage in terms of race relations in this country.”
