- Nigga said I got into law school because of affirmative action. Ha. I told him look up my LSAT score, the two award winning books I wrote before law school, and the fact that he can't fuck with me in nothing.
- I woke today before first count. Walked into the still dark morning with my license and my attorney card. I am a felon. Spent 100 months in prison. I don't forget. I don't hide. I cast my ballot. Then came home to ready my sons for school and tell a woman I love her. #FreeVote
- Wesley Snipes paid more in taxes than Trump.
- I plucked braces off my teeth in a jail cell because I was facing a life sentence. That’s how young I was when I faced life in prison.
- 16 years ago today I came home from prison. Today Wesleyan announces that I’ve been selected to give their commencement address and receive an honorary degree. And now I have the same number of those as felonies, 3. wesleyan.edu/rc2020/commenc…
- To be white in America and not be bothered by turning all around you and learning your hero couldn’t find but a single exceptional Negro to hire during a storied career fighting for a version of equality.More than 100 of Justice Ginsburg's former clerks meet her casket at the Supreme Court steps cnn.it/3iZFug8
- Replying to @kemiaalabiHope she don’t fuck around and find out. Telling somebody: This bread ain’t gluten free? You gonna fuck around and find out.
- First, fuck your regrets. You sentenced a 16 year old to die in prison and wasn’t a single person killed or physically harmed here. Fuck all of your regrets and frankly fuck the Post for publishing them. “I sentenced a teen to die in prison. I regret it.”
- Everyone should read this story about David Haywood, graduating from Wesleyan with honors and the highest undergraduate thesis prize awarded by the college. The catch? Haywood is in prison and did all that work from a cell.
- 68 years. 68 68 68 68 68 68 68 68 68. Longer than both my mother and father have been alive. This is America's prisons. This is what we do.
- It's official. My book is censored in Virginia. Banned book list. That's some wild shit for real. They're collecting A Question of Freedom copies from the library now.
- I faced life in prison for robbing a man of ten dollars and a night's use of his car. Chauvin faces 12.5 years or 40 years; he'll likely do less than me. Chauvin will do less time than me. Accountability funny as hell in America.
- The first mango I ate was in solitary confinement. Shit was so delicious I chipped a tooth scraping it along to rip the final hits of flesh from the center. Who has a better first mango story than that?
