Racial profiling punishes innocent individuals for the past actions of those who look and sound like them. It misdirects crucial resources and undercuts the trust needed between law enforcement and the communities they serve. It has no place in our national discourse and no place in our nation's police departments.

A social problem is one that concerns the way in which people live together in one society. A racial problem is a problem which confronts two different races who live in two separate societies even if those societies are side by side.

We seek to create a united Democratic and non-racial society.

In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science. Thus was born racial anti-Semitism based on two disciplines regarded as science in their day - the 'scientific study of race' and the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel.

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

If acknowledging that racial misgivings and misunderstandings are still a part of politics and life in America I plead guilty.

In a multi-racial society trust understanding and tolerance are the cornerstones of peace and order.

I came to the conclusion that in order to end racial barriers I needed to run for the office of the president and put forth an agenda of social justice and world peace. In addition I concluded that someone needed to run and challenge the liberal orthodoxy.

Bob Marley stood for universal peace and love. He tried to break racial barriers.

I would like to do another piece of fiction dealing with a number of issues: Lesbian parenting the 1960's and interracial relationships in the Lesbian and Gay community.

Gay marriage won't be more of an issue 25 years from now than interracial marriage is today.

I think it's something that needs to be said - that there are interracial marriages out there and the couples live happy lives and there's nothing wrong with it.

I don't even talk about whether or not racial profiling is legal. I just don't think racial profiling is a particularly good law enforcement tool.

The only people who live in a post-black world are four people who live in a little white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The idea that America is post-racial or post-black because a man I admire Barack Obama is president of the United States is a joke. And I hope no one will even wonder about this crazy fiction again.

I brought together experts from health care business academic institutions and the community to develop a comprehensive blueprint for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health care in the City of Boston.

I want to state upfront unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge regardless of their background or life experiences.

In my country of South Africa we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings children of the same God by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

People feel uncomfortable talking about racial issues out of fear that if they express things they will be characterized in a way that's not fair. I think that there is still a need for a dialogue about things racial that we've not engaged in.

So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech it's uniform color versus skin color. We have - we've overcome that level of racial fear.

A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.

The real estate agent had to go door-to-door in the apartment building we wanted to rent asking if it was OK for this interracial family - my mom is white and I was a 1-year-old half-African kid - to live in the apartment building.

The civil rights movement was based on faith. Many of us who were participants in this movement saw our involvement as an extension of our faith. We saw ourselves doing the work of the Almighty. Segregation and racial discrimination were not in keeping with our faith so we had to do something.

It must not be forgotten in fairness to the National Government that apartheid is not just a policy of oppression but an attempt - in my opinion an attempt doomed to failure - to find an alternative to a policy of racial integration which is fair to both white and black.

Martin Luther King Jr. didn't carry just a piece of cloth to symbolize his belief in racial equality he carried the American flag.
