Beyond Basketball: Race, Class,
and Politics

America is divided by economics strictly. You know, people
always talk about race, and we have racial problems in this
country. Of course we do. But the real issue is the rich
against the poor. We've got to get poor white people and
poor black people and Mexicans to realize they are all
in the same boat. If you in one of those three groups and
you are poor, you are going to be in a bad neighborhood,
you are going to go to a bad school, and you are going to
have strikes against you. You can't commit crimes in good
neighborhoods. They will get your ass. Their kids go to
private school, or they go to school in a good economic area.
But the poor people, they are all in the same boat but they
divide you based on race or stuff like that. A lot of these
politicians say things like "We've got to stop all these ille gal
immigrants. " I am like,"That is so easy to stop." They
are not working for other immigrants.
