No one should feel unsafe in their own neighborhoods.

Using someone's race as a factor against admission to college is totally un-American.

The reality is that Black-American history is not one of a hapless, hopeless race oppressed by a more powerful White race.

It is impractical and a nonstarter for the United States Government to pay reparations.

First, let me reiterate that slavery was and still is evil, whether it be the 83-year history of our Nation or the prior 2,000-year history or the presence around the world today.

Reparations is not the way to right our country's wrong. What I propose later will be more lasting.

Instead of that theory, I would like to share the reality of a race whose history of success in America has been stolen and what we can do to repair that damage.

We are at a very, very important point in our country today where Black Americans are waking up.

You steal our history, you steal our pride in our past, appreciation for our present and a vision for our future.

There is a formula that allowed the African American community to achieve the measures of success during the '40, '50s, and '60s that is missing today.

There is a certain ideology that certain people that belong to a certain area, a certain niche, we need to hold them accountable.
