What I have is P.H. positive chronic myeloid leukemia which is an aberration in your white blood cells.

I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.

First take the government of the Indians out of politics second let the laws of the Indians be the same as those of the whites third give the Indian the ballot.

It would be great if politics were fact-based but it is not and it is surely not nuance-based. What works in a classroom or a think tank does not work on Capitol Hill or in the White House. Obama sometimes seems to be running the Brookings Institution not the country.

When I first started working in politics as a junior aide on Walter Mondale's 1984 presidential campaign it never occurred to me that I would one day work in the White House. There were plenty of women among the volunteers who stuffed envelopes and walked precincts. But there were fewer and fewer on each successive level of influence and access.

I don't know why that is but English politics is just so overly white. It's very much about the class structure.

The politicians were talking themselves red white and blue in the face.

My films are an extension of my poetry using the white screen like the white page to be filled with images.

I have a pet lizard named Puff five goldfish - named Pinky Brain Jowels Pearl and Sandy an oscar fish named Chef two pacus an albino African frog named Whitey a bonsai tree four Venus flytraps a fruit fly farm and sea monkeys.

We have a vision of South Africa in which black and white shall live and work together as equals in conditions of peace and prosperity.
