Trayvon Martin could have been any of our sons, so I was not especially moved by that remark of President [Barack] Obama's.

Don't believe the hype that black North Carolinians are not voting. We've heard this time and time again. It's just not the truth.

Bernie Sanders just seems to not have the personality to engage with people at the grassroots level.

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.

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

I think that ranked-choice voting makes a lot of sense.

Lots of African-American people really so adore Barack Obama that they're unwilling to even be mildly critical of him.
