No one should be forced into anything. Everyone should be free to live as they choose.
No decision is still a decision.
N***as do not care about us, man. N***as gonna do whatever they got to do to survive, ’cause they ain’t got no choice. We ain’t got no choice, either.[to Earn]
My wife is my choice. My daughter, my life is my choice. You think I went what I went through, did what I did to let anyone choose anything for me?[to Okafor]
My people have guns. Yours don’t. They may be aiming rifles at you right now. Eyes at the scopes. Fingers on the trigger. Boom. It’s gonna happen any second now unless you get the hell out of here and you don’t ever come back. You keep choosing this life, you will die.
Living is a choice. I choose to be happy. To try and spread joy.
It’s not our blood that defines us. It’s our choices.

It’s easy to excuse yourself because of your ancestry, but whatever you do, it will be you who does it, not your father, not your mother. You.[to Cal]
It’s dangerous to give people too many options. It confuses them.
