There are those that believe I have an underground railroad popping off in Texas, and that I’ve been telling all the Black folk on the underground railroad, ‘Don’t do this or don’t do that,’ and it’s so far from the truth.

I am requesting an investigation into recent deaths in Mississippi - including that of Tasia Fortune - calling them possible cases of modern-day lynchings.

I frankly stopped doing as many TV interviews because I don’t want to talk about the race, to be perfectly honest.
