Beneath the Underdog Quotes

“So he must use what time he has creating now for the future and utilize the past only to help the future, not as a razor strop for guilts and fears that inhibit his very being. Or like it said at the end of a labor song I liked a lot when I was a kid: what I mean is, take it easy, but take it.”
― Charles Mingus, Beneath the Underdog

“Telling the Parkses your father was an African chieftan has the same sound to me as the white man telling me I'm a nigger.”
― Charles Mingus, Beneath the Underdog
