One of the things that will decline over time is the demand that the society or the government bring forth a particularized racial remedy based on a history of deprivation. That will be even more difficult to do in the future.

When you allow racial disparity and institutional inequity to affect one part of the country, eventually it's coming back to get everyone.

For as long as the power of America's diversity is diminished by acts of discrimination and violence against people just because they are black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim or gay, we still must overcome.

I know we can't abolish prejudice through laws, but we can set up guidelines for our actions by legislation.

I say to you quite frankly that the time for racial discrimination is over.

Prejudices save time.

The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race.

Happily, the days when overt racial discrimination and segregation were championed by social conservatives are long past.

Defeating racism, tribalism, intolerance and all forms of discrimination will liberate us all, victim and perpetrator alike.
