Voting is not the most you can do; it's really the least you can do.

African-Americans have rarely been the beneficiaries of Presidential rhetorical excess.

Ronald Reagan's attack on people who receive public assistance was partially an attack on people of color.

I like to think that life lessons are learned and re-learned every day and take on importance at different times in life.

I do know that there are down-ballot people who have run on the Green Party, and some have been successful.

While the banks got big bailouts, a sizeable chunk of African-American wealth evaporated because so many people lost homes.

I especially appreciated hearing the President [Barack Obama] affirm that "black lives matter" and that it means that some citizens are feeling more pain, and experiencing more negative effects than others, and he offered up the stats. He also indicated that black lives matter does not negate the fact that blue lives matter. He ably walked the tightrope, here, between affirming both black life and police life.
