My ministry's always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels involved in the social order.

I think you don't support people based on one or two cases of situations. You deal with their balance over the long run.

We`re going to continue to move forward and fight. I just think that, unfortunately, the president-elect [Donald Trump] has chosen to address every issue.

You can't get a solution if you won't talk to the people that have the problem. You can't ever have healing if the patient is left out of the operation room.

People in the age of [President] Obama don't dress like they did in the age of [Lyndon] Johnson. That's for sure.

A war of words escalated between the president-elect and a civil rights icon. Donald Trump fired back at democratic Congressman John Lewis after Lewis said he did not see Trump as a legitimate president.

I cannot imagine where we would have been without BET. Many like me who operate in black America can only get our balanced story told nationally on BET talk shows.
