“My fellow Black Americans are expected to fit a certain mold and think...” — Vernon Jones Quote

My fellow Black Americans are expected to fit a certain mold and think a certain way. We've been socially conditioned to blindly support the Democratic Party, never straying from the mental plantation they've had us on for more than a half century.

Liberal white people do not want blacks thinking for themselves.

I was elected in Georgia as a Democrat in three separate decades. I don't support Donald Trump because I've changed my ideas on what's important; I support him precisely because I have not changed.

I'm Black from cradle to grave.

We haven't had a president like Trump in my lifetime as far as I'm concerned. He does what he says he's going to do.

It takes me a very, very long time to write a story, to write a piece of fiction, whatever you call the fiction that I write. I just go about it blindly, feeling my way towards what it has to be.

I don't blindly follow fashion trends.

Every big-budget film is powered by a director's vision. I blindly follow the instructions of my director, believe in him, and deliver what he exactly wants from me.

If I trust someone, I also blindly trust that person. Otherwise you cannot touch me, your opinion does not matter to me at all.

But, you know, I'm sorry, I think democracy requires participation. I mean, I don't want to proselytize but I do feel some sort of duty to participate in the process in some way other than just blindly getting behind a political party.
