But in view of the constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guarantied by the supreme law of the land are involved.

Our democracy is threatened whenever we take it for granted.

We want to remember that America is at its best when it__ struggling to live up to its stated ideals.

You may have heard the talk of diversity, sensitivity training, and body cameras. These are all fine and applicable, but they understate the task and allow the citizens of this country to pretend that there is real distance between their own attitudes and those of the ones appointed to protect them. The truth is that the police reflect America in all of its will and fear, and whatever we might make of this country__ criminal justice policy, it cannot be said that it was imposed by a repressive minority. The abuses that have followed from these policies__he sprawling carceral state, the random detention of black people, the torture of suspects__re the product of democratic will. And so to challenge the police is to challenge the American people who send them into the ghettos armed with the same self-generated fears that compelled the people who think they are white to flee the cities and into the Dream. The problem with the police is not that they are fascist pigs but that our country is ruled by majoritarian pigs.

England and America are two countries separated by the same language.

Yes here's to the founding fathers__lave-owners, British citizens who didn't want to pay taxes...

America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system.

I sometimes think that the saving grace of America lies in the fact that the overwhelming majority of Americans are possessed of two great qualities- a sense of humor and a sense of proportion.

Labor in the white skin can never free itself as long as labor in the black skin is branded.

...the freedom to bear arms may be righteously rejected to encourage the preservation of all corporeal forms of life.

Being an American is about having the right to be who you are. Sometimes that doesn't happen.

Here's what we're not taught [about the Declaration and Constitution]: Those words at the time they were written were blazingly, electrifyingly subversive. If you understand them truly now, they still are. You are not taught - and it is a disgrace that you aren't - that these men and women were radicals for liberty; that they had a vision of equality that was a slap in the face of what the rest of their world understood to be the unchanging, God-given order of nations; and that they were willing to die to make that desperate vision into a reality for people like us, whom they would never live to see.

My country owes me nothing. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor.

American diversity rarely applies to money and success.

Trump__ America is not America: not today__ or tomorrow__, but yesterday__.Trump__ America is brutal, perverse, regressive, insular and afraid. There is no hope in it; there is no light in it. It is a vast expanse of darkness and desolation.And that is a vision of America that most of the people in this country cannot and will not abide.

We were not born into this life knowingthat we were going to becomerich or poor, striving or with a celeb status, sick or healthy.But one thing that I know is thatthe human mind is a powerful tool to achieve success. No matter the circumstances,greatness is when you pushyourself above the odds.

Good riddance to the blatantly corrupt Democratic Party!

Presidents Trump's USA is not a good country to be a sickly person in.
