"I
am a black male who grew up in the inner city of Atlanta and no one
ever followed me in a mall. I don't recall any doors clicking when I
crossed the street. And I never had anyone clutching their handbag when I
got on an elevator. I guess having two awesome parents who taught me to
be a respectful young man paid dividends." - Allen West
"I
don't look to a man to get pride in myself. It's not about having a
black president, it's about having a good president, and I think that's
the most important thing." - Allen West
“A
person like myself, born and raised in the inner city of Atlanta,
Georgia, to lower-middle-class parents. But I had the opportunity to get
an education, to go and earn a commission in the United States Army, to
serve for 22 years, to lead men and women in combat.” - Allen West
