Political Quotes

“the recent comments of Khalid Abdul Muhammad, an aide to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, filled all decent people with revulsion and disgust. These statements, expressed in the language of hatred and violence, cannot be explained or excused. I rise today to condemn those comments, and to call on all Americans to stand against racism and bigotry by denouncing them. These anti-Semitic, antigay, antiwhite, and anti-Catholic remarks seek to divide our communities. America's greatest successes have come when we have worked together. Our failures occur when we are driven apart. It is very difficult to believe that any constructive relationship can be maintained with individuals or organizations who repeatedly issue such heinous statements. I urge my colleagues to speak out against such racist rhetoric, and I urge all Americans to repudiate these statements of hatred and prejudice. Silence is only testimony to the approval or indifference to anti-Semitism and racism.”
