African-American Quotes (page 3)

Popular culture - above all rock 'n' roll, with its African-American R & B roots - did far more to radicalize us than did any feminist leader. Camille Paglia
Considering the popularity of soaps with the African-American audience, it's grotesque that the entertainment industry, for all its vaunted liberalism, is lagging so far behind social changes in the United States. And why has there never been an all-black daytime network soap? It would probably blow the white soaps off the map. Camille Paglia
Chris Tucker quote: "You know, we're missing so much as African-Americans and we..."
You know, we're missing so much as African-Americans and we should be concerned about what's going on in Africa. Chris Tucker
Although the circumstances of our lives may seem very disengaged, with me standing here as the First Lady of the United States of America and you just getting through school, I want you to know we have very much in common. For nothing in my life ever would have predicted that I would be standing here as the first African-American First Lady. Michelle Obama
We need somebody who's got the heart, the empathy, to recognize what it's like to be a young teenage mom, the empathy to understand what it's like to be poor or African-American or gay or disabled or old - and that's the criterion by which I'll be selecting my judges. Barack Obama
J. C. Watts quote: "There's a whole lot more to the African-American community..."
There's a whole lot more to the African-American community than entertainment and sports. J. C. Watts
I guess probably in my time in politics, it continued to be affirmed to me that the African-American community, despite being subscription television's most valuable customers, they are very underserved by cable and satellite television programming options. J. C. Watts
Ray Charles' revolutionary approach to music was also reflected in his politics and his deep and abiding commitment to Martin Luther King and the plight of African-Americans. Ray Charles may not have been on the front lines, but he put his money where his mouth was. Diane Watson
I'm here not just as an actress but as a woman, an African-American, a granddaughter of Ellis Island immigrants, a person who could not have afforded college without the help of student loans and as one of millions of volunteers working to re-elect President Obama! Kerry Washington
Republicans have called for a National African-American Museum. The plan is being held up by finding a location that isn't in their neighborhood. Conan O'Brien
I think the bottom of the totem pole is African-American women, or women of colour. I think they get the least opportunities in Hollywood. Denzel Washington
I think one of the political problems we have in this country is the perspective that all soccer moms think alike, all African-Americans think alike. Anne Northup
Nikki Haley quote: "I had a white senator call me a rag head, and I had an..."
I had a white senator call me a rag head, and I had an African-American legislator call me a conservative with a tan. Nikki Haley
Children today will grow up taking for granted that an African-American or a woman can, yes, become the president of the United States. Hillary Clinton
Up until, really, Roosevelt, African-Americans largely voted ninety per cent Republican. That was the political origins, that's what their political voice was in the Republican party. During that history, that last sixty or seventy years of history, the Republican party effectively walked away from the community. They were afraid to really embrace civil rights even though they embraced civil rights legislation. And so it's not enough to just to put it on paper, you gotta actually show up and...
