america white boards
For anyone who is not white in America, the affronts are virtually across the board.
country self america
You try to steer a course in American society that's not self-destructive. But America is a country that inflicts injury. It does not like to see anything that comes in response, and accuses one of anger as if it were an unnatural response.
tired america people
Black people in America have to, for their own protection, develop a defense mechanism, and I just grew terribly tired of it.
african-american looks salary
Whites have more than eleven times the net worth or wealth of African Americans. They make greater salaries. Our unemployment rate is twice theirs. You look at the prison system and who that's chewing up.
men america justice
The whole future of America's black community is at risk. One out of every three young black men in Washington, D.C., is under one arm or the other of the criminal justice system. These are the continuing consequences of slavery.
powerful america leaving
I'm aware that because America is so powerful - with its tentacles reaching out to the world - one doesn't escape it by leaving. This is the most dangerous and disturbing time in my life.
country believe america
We've been taught in America that big is best. That's why people have to believe that they must live in the greatest country in the world, which is absolutely idiotic.
finally miami south styles
Miami is finally going to have its South Beach, with all the different styles in one place.
bad bill disaster
This is a bad omen, a bad bill and a disaster for Africa.
democracy outcomes next
Democracy requires that if you who don't like the outcome of elections you have to tolerate it and then pursue your interest the next time around.
white black regimes
I've opposed black regimes and white regimes, leftist regimes and rightist regimes. I'm close to Aristide because I have respect for him, but all that is beside the point.
offending people trouble
I've never had any trouble opposing people I've been close to. I've never worried about offending or bothering people I feel strongly about.
real careers people
I've always thought I had pretty good instincts for people. There is a short list of people I've worked with over my career with whom I've not been able to distinguish easily between the public persona and the real private person.
religious management conservative
Reagan was conservative, but he didn't approach global management with an unbending religious zeal.
