I'm so disturbed when my women students behave as though they can only read women or black students behave as though they can only read blacks or white students behave as though they can only identify with a white writer.

I have often said one of the reasons more blacks don't support Republicans is because they don't trust the GOP establishment.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology accepts blacks in the top ten percent of students but at MIT this puts them in the bottom ten percent of the class.

There is no longer a single common impediment to blacks emerging in this society.

When you look at where the real problems are among minorities in our society particularly blacks it's at the bottom. It's the people who are in school systems that don't educate neighborhoods where there is a lot of crime drugs the whole bit.

The African American's relationship to Africa has long been ambivalent at least since the early nineteenth century when 3 000 black men crowded into Bishop Richard Allen's African Methodist Episcopal Church in Philadelphia to protest noisily a plan to recolonize free blacks in Africa.

Hip-Hop isn't just music it is also a spiritual movement of the blacks! You can't just call Hip-Hop a trend!

If you're the village blacksmith and a model T comes along you better become a mechanic. People's lives are better when they get news online versus having to wait for the morning paper. It's a lot more efficient a lot more real time a lot less waste.

When it came to political power blacks need not apply. Add to this steaming stew the growing tensions over the Vietnam War and the movement for civil rights and you had plenty of elements to fire the imagination of a novice journalist.

I have no desire to take all black people back to Africa there are blacks who are no good here and will likewise be no good there.

We have a president who stole the presidency through family ties arrogance and intimidation employing Republican operatives to exercise the tactics of voter fraud by disenfranchising thousands of blacks elderly Jews and other minorities.

I decided blacks should not have to experience the difficulties I had faced so I decided to open a flying school and teach other black women to fly.

On the road to equality there is no better place for blacks to detour around American values than in forgoing its example in the treatment of its women and the organization of its family.

As a result of America's efforts to realize the ideals of equality and freedom blacks in America are now the freest and richest black people anywhere on the face of the earth including all of the nations that are ruled by blacks.

On the political front of course it's a zero-sum game. If it's all white males holding positions you bring 10 women in then it's 'Women are coming!' Get 10 blacks and it's 'Blacks are coming!' 'Hispanics are coming!' Zero-sum game. The seatmates might change but the chairs don't move. In the economy the number of chairs can actually increase.

I'm really busted up over this and I'm very very sorry to those people in the audience the blacks the Hispanics whites - everyone that was there that took the brunt of that anger and hate and rage and how it came through.
