Reagan was conservative, but he didn't approach global management with an unbending religious zeal.

I was really worn down by an American society that is racist, smugly blind to it, and hugely self-satisfied.

I've never had any trouble opposing people I've been close to. I've never worried about offending or bothering people I feel strongly about.

The whole future of America's black community is at risk. One out of every three young black men in Washington, D.C., is under one arm or the other of the criminal justice system. These are the continuing consequences of slavery.

Whites have more than eleven times the net worth or wealth of African Americans. They make greater salaries. Our unemployment rate is twice theirs. You look at the prison system and who that's chewing up.

One out of every eight prisoners in the world is an African American. We are warehousing people as a profit to shareholders or for benefits to communities that get to host federal prisons. It is modern slavery.

I think the evangelicals want to provoke an immense global disaster to precipitate the second coming of Christ.
