Political Quotes

“In our society, especially in America, there are certain words that we do not like to use such as discrimination, segregation, set-aside, preferences, goals, and I do not know why people want to always avoid using those words.

Now once you understand that, you will understand that, sure, we have gotten rid of discrimination de jure which is by law, but we still have discrimination de facto.”
