I've been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don't have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I'm still bankable.

As a young black boy, it made me proud to see black leaders that did something amazing and made the world change.

I am incredibly proud of the many journalists I have worked with throughout my career and the great campaigns that we have fought and won.

There are many positive things to say about the black community. No question about it.

I fully recognize and appreciate the many substantial contributions of black Americans and other minorities to the creation and preservation and development of our great nation.

When it came to political power, blacks need not apply. Add to this steaming stew the growing tensions over the Vietnam War and the movement for civil rights, and you had plenty of elements to fire the imagination of a novice journalist.

Black reporters are as capable of racism as anyone else.

I continue to care for President Obama and for his family. I think that in many ways they are very courageous people, and I honor that, because I know what it means to live as a black person in a racist America.
