Gay marriage won't be more of an issue 25 years from now than interracial marriage is today.

I think it's something that needs to be said - that there are interracial marriages out there and the couples live happy lives and there's nothing wrong with it.

I don't even talk about whether or not racial profiling is legal. I just don't think racial profiling is a particularly good law enforcement tool.

The only people who live in a post-black world are four people who live in a little white house on Pennsylvania Avenue. The idea that America is post-racial or post-black because a man I admire Barack Obama is president of the United States is a joke. And I hope no one will even wonder about this crazy fiction again.

I brought together experts from health care business academic institutions and the community to develop a comprehensive blueprint for eliminating racial and ethnic disparities in health care in the City of Boston.

I want to state upfront unequivocally and without doubt: I do not believe that any racial ethnic or gender group has an advantage in sound judging. I do believe that every person has an equal opportunity to be a good and wise judge regardless of their background or life experiences.

In my country of South Africa we struggled for years against the evil system of apartheid that divided human beings children of the same God by racial classification and then denied many of them fundamental human rights.

People feel uncomfortable talking about racial issues out of fear that if they express things they will be characterized in a way that's not fair. I think that there is still a need for a dialogue about things racial that we've not engaged in.

So here we are today with a new conversation. When University of Georgia plays Georgia Tech it's uniform color versus skin color. We have - we've overcome that level of racial fear.

A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.
