My dad was never one of those dads you could ask for a quarter if you saw a gumball machine. Instead he had one of those black American Express cards not available to general public. Gumball machines didn't have slots for those.

In 1975 I was among a group of blacks who formed the Black Americans in Support of Israel Committee.

Irish Americans are no more Irish than Black Americans are Africans.
- Bob Geldof
I joke to people in the press that I realize I'm not black, I'm actually white. But I've got these roots in black American music. I love it.

Progress for black Americans depends on good schools because education is the last great equalizer.

The need of black conservatives to gain the respect of their white peers deeply shapes certain elements of their conservatism. In this regard, they simply want what most people want, to be judged by the quality of their skills, not by the color of their skin. But the black conservatives overlook the fact that affirmative action policies were political responses to the pervasive refusal of most white Americans to judge black Americans on that basis.
