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.
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.
people democracy want
Bush people didn't like him, and they never liked him. They didn't like him because they don't like democracy. They like you to have an election, but they like you to elect the people they want you to elect.
thinking people institutions
I think people involved with institutions find it harder to know the time to go than the time to come.
air people needs
People need their history like they need air and food.
eight people community
One out of every eight prisoners in the world is an African American. We are warehousing people as a profit to shareholders or for benefits to communities that get to host federal prisons. It is modern slavery.
country thug people
Condelleza Rice and Colin Powell are both dangerous people. What they did in Haiti [2004 U.S.-backed coup that ousted democratically elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide] is a good measure of it. They destroyed a democracy. They squelched loans that had been approved by the Inter-American Development Bank. They did everything behind the scenes, including arming the thugs that came to overrun the country. They're frauds.
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.
religious management conservative
Reagan was conservative, but he didn't approach global management with an unbending religious zeal.
thinking want christ
I think the evangelicals want to provoke an immense global disaster to precipitate the second coming of Christ.
