thinking voice community
Republicans think that the NAACP is the only voice in the black community. It is a voice in the black community. But it's not the only voice.
again heard slumber tis voice
Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, "You have wak'd me too soon, I must slumber again
children school writing
We need to make sure that every child in America goes to a school every day that is safe, will teach them how to read and write, do arithmetic and gain the computer skills necessary to allow them to compete in the global marketplace. If we can get that through the public schools, fine. If we can't, I'm all for parental choice in education to allow that parent to take his/her/their child to a school that is safe and teaches them, even if it is a faith-based school!
believe capable good knows somebody
I believe in these kids, and I've been around this program. We've got some really good things going here, and I really wanted to take it over because it's too important to have somebody who knows them and knows what they are capable of.
believe kids thinking
I'm not one that believes that affirmative action should be based on one's skin color or one's gender, I think it should be done based on one's need, because I think if you are from a poor white community, I think that poor white kid needs a scholarship just as badly as a poor black kid.
strong african-american identity
Like any group that has endured much, African Americans have created a strong and mutually reinforcing sense of group identity. That's not a bad thing in and of itself.
men color diversity
In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican, with God as my witness, not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That's a good thing.
behind offers
If we don't make offers (today), we're behind schedule.
thinking might be-kind
Some might think that George W. Bush had his shortcomings, but let me tell you something - history's going to be kind to George W. Bush.
children school thinking
I think that anybody that stays in school, gets good grades, pays the price, I think we are wealthy enough in the public and the private sector in America to make sure that every child in America that wants to continue their education, they should be able to do that.
reality color america
I'm looking forward to the day when America will mature to the point that we are a color-blind society. I'm not so sure that in politics that will ever be reality, because politics has a way of separating us based on skin color.
law obama-supporters accusing-me
In 2008, as a matter of fact, I had people accusing me of being a Senator Obama supporter because I wouldn't slam him. I said, 'Well, consider the fact that I voted for impeachment for President Clinton, but it wasn't a personal vote. I voted based on the facts and the law and the Constitution and what we were dealing with.'
people sprint stock
Most people who own Sprint stock want growth, and land-line stock isn't growing.
thinking views ideas
I do think, however, that there's a very diverse point of view in the African-American community. There's a lot of different voices that need to be heard. I don't claim and pretend to know the thoughts and opinions and ideas of all African-Americans.
