Well certainly one of the ironies of the success of affirmative action is that the middle class within the black community no longer lives within 'black community' by and large.

And nothing embittered me which is important because I think ethnic people and women in this society can end up being embittered because of the lack of affirmative action you know.

Affirmative action has a negative effect on our society when it means counting us like so many beans and dividing us into separate piles.

I think sometimes in life we want to ignore the problems of society and just think about the good. I believe in positive thinking and affirmative living I also think it's really important to remember all of our disenfranchised members of society.

White... is not a mere absence of colour it is a shining and affirmative thing as fierce as red as definite as black... God paints in many colours but He never paints so gorgeously I had almost said so gaudily as when He paints in white.

The call of death is a call of love. Death can be sweet if we answer it in the affirmative if we accept it as one of the great eternal forms of life and transformation.
