interviewer: (Mike Tyson) What do you think they mean when they say, "God bless the child that has his own"?

Mike Tyson: You got to go out there and get yours. Sometimes when you're white you get ahead, and I'm not talking from a racist perspective. I was raised by white people, you know what I mean? I know their language, I'm a brother to the bone. And white people told me, "because you're black, you're going to be treated in a different way." And you know, deep down inside, being black is tough. You're going to be shit on. I'm not saying all white people are fucking bastards. It's just that when you have the power to do something, you shit on people. That's the way people are. You have to be a very different kind of individual not to be that way. You know why the black people love the white man so much? It's because they promise us everything but give us nothing. As long as you've got the faith- "Oh yeah, we're gonna get it." Then you go, "Goddamn, we almost had it!"
