My dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men. As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he's always had to fear being a white man with black skin. All he has known culturally is white. He has a certain rootlessness, a deracination.
Cornel West

Men, Fear, Father

Lynn Margulis

Life, Two, Year

Jerry Lewis

Power, Pain, Two

Christopher Walken

Keep, Stop, Takes

I am willing to compete on my merits and on my character - not with the color of my skin. We talk about being a color-blind society, but I don't think the political process could actually handle that.
J. C. Watts

Society, Character, Political

I'm not one that believes that affirmative action should be based on one's skin color or one's gender, I think it should be done based on one's need, because I think if you are from a poor white community, I think that poor white kid needs a scholarship just as badly as a poor black kid.
J. C. Watts

Done, Black, Poor

Alton Brown

Great, Focus, Goal

Jason Reitman

Family, True, Feeling

Time, Saying, Hard
