Be who you are, do what you do and let us get on with discussing the real issues of this country.

I'm going to continue to speak my mind in the way that I do.
Most African-Americans really do believe that we are voting for our better interest in voting for Democrats.
When I first experienced the millennial response to me, I had come out of a classified briefing, and I told the group of media individuals who were there that I didn't think James Comey had any credibility, and I threw up my hands and walked away - that went viral.
This nation has always struggled with how it was going to deal with poor people and people of color. Every few years you will see some great change in the way that they approach this. We've had the war on poverty that never really got into waging a real war on poverty.

We have a responsibility as elected officials to do good public policy in the best interest of all the people.
I cannot be thought to be afraid of Bill O'Reilly or anybody.
I'm accustomed to being harassed.
There's a history of enslaved African-Americans having to make their slave masters comfortable. This business of what we call skinning and grinning - that is something African-Americans are very much cognizant of.

I don't think it works to just be mad at them - Maxine Waters out ranting and kicking down the doors. It would be so easy to dismiss you and marginalize you.
I have a right to my anger, and I don't want anybody telling me I shouldn't be, that it's not nice to be, and that something's wrong with me because I get angry.
