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.
finally miami south styles
Miami is finally going to have its South Beach, with all the different styles in one place.
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.
religious management conservative
Reagan was conservative, but he didn't approach global management with an unbending religious zeal.
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.
country prison-population two
The U.S. has the largest prison population in the world: two million people. The country with one-twentieth of the world's population has one-fourth of those in prison.
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.
school men years
I never met a white person till I was a grown man. I never went to school with a white till I was twenty-six years old, at Harvard Law School. The insult of segregation was searing and unforgettable. It has left a great scar, and will be with me for the rest of my life.
suffering insult response
We all have to die, and I preferred to have just one death. It seems to me that to suffer insult without response is to die many deaths.
thinking people institutions
I think people involved with institutions find it harder to know the time to go than the time to come.
water tree coconuts
You plant twenty coconut trees over here, and twenty coconut trees over there, and you water this batch and don't water that batch. Of the batch you water, nineteen will survive and one will die. Of the batch you don't water, nineteen will die and one will survive.
air people needs
People need their history like they need air and food.
