Thanks for the interesting details on, ...James Brown "I Don't Want Nobody to Give Me Nothing (Open Up the Door I'll Get It Myself.)"
"A colored is a very frightened-to-death Afro-American. A Negro is one that makes it in the system, and he wants to be white. A nigger, he's loud and boisterous, wants to be seen. Nobody likes a nigger. A black man has pride. He wants to build, he wants to make his race mean something. Wants to have a culture and art forms. And he's not prejudiced. I am a black American man. Now you go ahead and print it." -- James Brown, 1982
