What’s wrong with denouncing white interlopers?

I just released an op-ed in the "Washington Post" that talks about providing an I.D. so that everyone can have an I.D., primarily, the social security card, a picture would be put on that card, and a president can certainly by executive order make this happen so that people will not need a special I.D. They`ll have one to vote.

The unfortunate part is there`s not enough balance in the legislative chambers, and particularly the senate that has to do that confirmation for there to be enough pushback.

We're not willing to give black leaders second chances because, in most cases, we're not willing to give them first chances.

I think first of all, the United States has got to adopt a policy of befriending and creating allies around the world.

I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you're going. That's family values.

We've got to look toward two years from now [January 2017] to at least provide some balance in congress.
