When nonviolence begins halfway through the war with the aggressor calling time out, it exposes itself as a ruse.

I think President [Barack] Obama deeply underestimated the force of white supremacy in American life.

[Donald Trump] went on to, you know, otherize Muslims, otherize Latinos, otherize women, that he built out from that. And it can be true that a unique, you know, individual like Barack Obama can succeed in spite of that and still be the case that that force is quite, quite strong.

It was a week after Donald Trump had won. And initially he was still optimistic. He felt that things would be OK ultimately. And I have to tell you, this is the area where, you know, I see, you know, some degree of contradiction. I mean, the president, you know, at one point when he was campaigning said I believe that Donald Trump was not qualified to run a 7-Eleven.

Any time you have, you know, upwards of 90 percent of a demographic voting against somebody, that's a statement.

Addressing the moral failings of black people while ignoring the centuries-old failings of their governments amounts to a bait and switch.

Just because you came here in 1880, 1950, whenever, you became an American. You get to celebrate July 4th like every other American. You don't just get the good part. You get the bad part, too. You get all of it.
