U.S. foreign policy is Manichaean. It's like a Hollywood movie. You have to know who has the white hat and who has the black hat and then go against the black hat.
When I hear of an 'equity' in a case like this, I am reminded of a blind man in a dark room - looking for a black hat - which isn't there.
None of us are good or evil, and that frustrates us because we want to see others as wearing a white hat or black hat. My hat is grey.
Weapons of mass destruction aren't pulled out of a black hat like a white rabbit at a magic show. They're produced in factories. There's science and technology involved. They're not produced in a hole in the ground or in a basement.
If you ain't got your black hat, there ain't no use in filling out an application.
If you only think of me during Black History Month, I must be failing as an educator and as an astrophysicist.
I did a book in 1996, an overview of black history. In that process I became more aware of a lot of the black inventors of the 19th century.
I do consider myself part of black history.
I didn't learn black history in school. I had to go find Malcolm X books.
Black History Month could focus less on slavery and civil rights and more on the Harlem Renaissance and everything we have achieved. I want to know about the whole black experience.
Black History Month is fine, but we need more months of the year to celebrate all the people on this earth. After all, we're all creatures of the same God.
The thing about black history is that the truth is so much more complex than anything you could make up.
Black history is American history. You cannot tell one story without telling the other.
Jesus' birthday is commercialized, so of course, Black History Month is commercialized.
There was a manifesto in the late '60s/early '70s, and it basically laid out what 'black art' was and that it should embrace black history and black culture. There were all these rules - I was shocked, when I found it in a book, that it even existed, that it would demarcate these artists.
I'm a sponge for historical images of black people and black history on film.
The Republican Party's history is rich and chock full of emancipation and black history.
I performed in high school for Black History Month at a talent show, but besides that I didn't have the resources to perform so I spent my time as a teenager writing music.
I went to school with a lot of kids whose fathers and mothers were part of the El Paso black history.
During Black History Month, I'm reminded yet again of the ways that the struggle for civil rights is interwoven with the struggle for workers' rights.
