The Unreconstructed Race Man as Provocateur

Mainspring: White folks. White people are responsible for my success. They make it so hard for you that a long time ago I got mad and made up my mind to be two, three times as good at whatever I decided to do. If I was white I probably wouldn’t have had the drive.

Most paradoxical quality: People claim I’m a paradox, that I don’t act like they think I ought to. They want me to entertain them. I’m a musician and that’s all I do. I’m not an actor or dancer, either. I just can do one thing, play my music.

—MILES DAVIS, “SELF PORTRAIT,” ESQUIRE (1962)52
