Katrina was not unforeseeable, ... It was the result of a political structure that subcontracts its responsibility to private contractors and abdicates its responsibility altogether.

The idea that you work in the house of the master is almost in itself its own opportunity to do some mischief and make a difference, but when you are in that place and you help perpetuate the master's policy that perpetuates oppression and pain for many others, then something has to be said about it, ... And the master in this instance, of course, was the president of the United States.

We've taken citizens from this country without the right to be charged, without being told what they're taken for, we've spirited them out of this country, taken them to far away places, and reports come back with some consistency that they are being tortured, that they're not being told what they've done. And even some who have been released have come back and testified to this fact.

We've come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended. You can be arrested and not charged. You can be arrested and have no right to counsel.

We talked for four hours, ... After four hours I knew I was with someone who would change the course of history.

I like Colin Powell, I like his West Indian background, I like his intellect, I like a lot of things that he does and his style. What is at fault here is a policy that's taking this country to hell,

There's an old saying, ... In the days of slavery, there were those slaves who lived on the plantation and there were those slaves that lived in the house. You got the privilege of living in the house if you served the master ... exactly the way the master intended to have you serve him.

Color does not necessarily denote quality, content, or value.

Katrina was not unforeseeable. It was the result of a political structure that abdicates its responsibility.

When I was forty and looking at sixty, it seemed like a thousand miles away. But sixty-two feels like a week and a half away from eighty. I must now get on with those things I always talked about doing but put off.

Our foreign policy has made a wreck of this planet, ... I'm always in Africa . . . And when I go to these places I see American policy written on the walls of oppression everywhere.

I was quite taken with her, because I'd never seen the African influence in dance with that kind of strength and artistic power. It impacted my soul. No one had reached those heights. She was the definitive black dance company. She moved among the highest intellectuals of black culture, all the writers and painters and literary folk.

We've watched her be abused in the past, and she's overcome, stood strong. We're not going to be absent or indifferent to the fact that she may be abused again.

I'm not familiar with all of what the case is about, so I can't speak to that.
