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.

If you are explaining, you are losing.

For longer than I've been involved in the political process, the Republican establishment has claimed to want to provide an alternative for the black community, yet party elite refuse to show up for the game.

We need to remember that politics is all about people, not programs. We shouldn't want to take the humanness out of the political arena.

I was taught to respect everyone for the simple reason that we're all God's children. I was taught, in the words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.... to judge a man not by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. And I was taught that character...is simply doing what's right when nobody's looking.

Everyone tries to define this thing called Character. It's not hard. Character is doing what's right when nobody's looking.

I would caution all of us or I would remind all of us that any candidate that we support, they are going to be flawed.
