school essence america
None of us were prepared to hear what Justice Scalia said, because in essence what he was saying is let`s go back to pre-Board of Education - Brown versus Board of Education, 1950s America where blacks are doing all right going to black schools or schools where blacks go. He said go to less advanced schools where they do all right. We`re going back to separate but equal.
new-york people african-american
People understand who Donald Trump is. There was a lawsuit against him for housing discrimination, racial discrimination against African-Americans that`s been in "The New York Times". Decades ago with "The New York Times".
thinking america race
I've had a dozen people tell me, maybe more, 'What would have happened if Michael Brown had shot and killed Darren Wilson? Do you think he would be free right now? Do you think he would not have been charged by now?' People just see this manifest double-standard in front of them that's coming at the long line of a whole bunch of grievances that have built up over time because of the dynamics of Ferguson and frankly, the dynamics of race in America more broadly.
powerful america accountability
We cannot have a just society that applies the principle of accountability to the powerless and the principle of forgiveness to the powerful. This is the America in which we currently reside.
challenge defense fire improve needs
Our defense needs to really improve more. If we had a little more fire we'd challenge a little more of their shots.
brought chance step tie within
I think of it as a step forward. Because we were down a little bit, we brought it back to within three, and we had a chance to tie it. But I know we can do a lot better than that.
contested gone half hand miss
We could have gone out and contested more. If we put a hand up on half of those shots, they'll miss half of them.
good guys might step
If they're really hot, we have to keep going to them. It's good to have them step up because other guys might have off nights.
couple game games last lose might people support thinking
We want to go into every game being competitive. We don't want to go into games thinking about last year's record. We might lose a couple games, but I don't want people to say 'Here we go again. Same thing.' We need support from the crowd.
fire pick talk
We didn't really talk or anything or say we're going to come out with more fire. We just know we have to pick it up.
drive losing
We're losing that drive that we had in the beginning. We were more hungry.
genuinely
It is genuinely shocking to me that I'm on a television show.
created smartest viewing weekends
I give so much credit to the 'Up' team who created appointment viewing on the weekends for us and some of the smartest conversations on television.
experience featured focused forces labor presidents sharing sitting table trying union workers
I think you'll see if you look at 'Up', we've focused a lot on labor (and the forces trying to keep labor down) and have featured everything from Wal Mart workers, to on-the-ground organizers, to union presidents to restaurant workers sitting at the table sharing their experience and expertise.
