people
There are so many people who have this idea of who I am because I'm black.
affected people self-esteem
I hear people say it affected your self-esteem to be segregated. It never affected mine.
cease people
It would seem that some black people want to say that when you, as a black, become successful, you cease to be black. That's ridiculous.
cases critics job people respond statements
My job is to write opinions. I decide cases and write opinions. It is not to respond to idiocy and critics who make statements that are unfounded. That doesn't mean that people shouldn't have constructive criticisms, but it should be constructive.
based box certain judgments people supposed
It's fascinating that people, there's so many people now who will make judgments based on what you look like. I'm black. So I'm supposed to think a certain way. I'm supposed to have certain opinions. I don't do that. You don't create a box and put people in and then make a lot of generalizations about them.
thinking people miracle
I have to admit that I'm one of those people that thinks the dishwasher is a miracle.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

You have a number of choices. You could continue to always fight against people who are really distractions. They're people in the cheap seats of life. Or you can do what you went there to do.
people done savannah
The absolute worst I have ever been treated, the worst things that have been done to me, the worst things that have been said about me, are by northern liberal elites, not by the people of Savannah, Georgia.
people black way
The myths that are created about the South, about the way we grew up, about black people, are wrong.
real school people
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.
judging people constitution
A judge should be evaluated by whether he faithfully upholds his oath to God, not to the people, to the state or to the Constitution.
kids people water
People get bent out of shape about the fact that when I was a kid, you could not drink out of certain water fountains. Well, the water was the same.
responsibility people decision
The only people who have quick answers don't have the responsibility of making the decisions.
