I've always taken pride to be the white guy that can talk to the black people, that can refer to them truly as a brother from a different mother.

I'm Native American, so it's in my blood to always want brothers and friends. I'm a good brotherhood guy.

I have the utmost respect and 'aloha' for black people - who have already suffered so much due to racial discrimination and acts of hatred.

It was almost like a white guy trying to be hip among a bunch of black people.

And I used to say, 'I'm black, too.' In other words, I - my whole life I've been called a half-breed, a convict, king of the trailer trash, this and that. I take that and stand.

If I was Judge Del Rosario, I would say Ili, of all people, you know better.
