Black Quotes
Something like 72 percent of the nation's growth in the black population is taking place in the South. I think it has something to do with a cultural comfort zone. I think there is this long-term connection that African Americans feel with that region that they don't quite have with the other parts of the country.

Delta's new service to Africa will mark many firsts for our hometown of Atlanta and for our customers, including the first non-stop service between Atlanta and Senegal on the West African coast, and the first Delta-operated service from Atlanta to Johannesburg.

Asian Quotes
Another special thing about our bridal show is that we are incorporating cultural wedding traditions into our activities. Greek, African, Pacific Islander, Jewish, Asian and Hispanic cultures will be showcased, because they are traditions that can be shared by all cultures. You don't have to be a member of the African American community to jump over a broom.

Agree Quotes
This is a process, not an event. It's not going to happen over night. It's clear that we as African American men are unique and only we can articulate what it's like to attend a private college. But all of us would also agree that it was worth it, that we are successful today because of it.

Bestowed Quotes
This country was formed for the white not for the black man. And looking upon African slavery from the same stand-point, as held by those noble framers of our Constitution, I for one, have ever considered it, one of the greatest blessings that God ever bestowed upon a favored nation.

Affects Quotes
They had a tremendous impact. Not just because they underscore that this is a civil rights question, but they're making it clear this is a question of fairness that affects real families, including Latinos and African Americans many of whom are the most vulnerable when discriminatorily excluded from marriage.

Achievement Quotes
The year 2005 was truly memorable for participants in the South African truck market. Sales volumes have consistently edged ahead of the most optimistic initial forecasts, and once the trend of strong growth had been established early in the year, the market consistently delivered near-record monthly performances. As it turned out, the year-on-year growth of 31,7% recorded this year completely eclipsed the 27,5% achievement which had, understandably, excited participants at the end of 2004.

Deal Quotes
You don't want to make a big deal out of it because it sounds indulgent. But the fact of the matter is that, for all South African filmmakers, because we don't make a lot of films, you feel an unrealistic pressure that your film has to say so much and has to be about everything in South Africa.

Bad Quotes
It's a bad deal for community lending. We've looked at Sovereign's existing lending in the market - from Philadelphia to Boston - and we found that in all of the markets we've looked at they disproportionately deny credit to people of color, African Americans and Latinos. Where credit is granted, they are much more likely to impose higher costs on people of color.

Based Quotes
It was commissioned by Center Theatre Group's youth program, ... They wanted something based on storytelling, something suitable for whole families. It was supposed to incorporate Br'er Rabbit tales. But once I got into it, I thought, 'Forget Br'er Rabbit. Use human beings.' There are so very, very many African, African American, Caribbean and slave narratives to work with.

Across Quotes
It's all about understanding and getting involved with people who get our products and who have broad appeal. Yes, he's got deep niche appeal with African Americans and Hispanic consumers, but he has broad appeal to automotive enthusiasts across the board, because of what he does with his products.

Christian Quotes
It's not one of our political fault lines. The major issue in this society is race. That's why people join political parties. The party of social conservatism is African Christian Democratic Party, which wins one percent of the vote. And that's the group of people who feel that this justifies amending the constitution.

Appreciation Quotes
For African American ideals, "The Promised Land" is not a land to be "reclaimed" after hundreds, or even thousands, of years, citing God as the real estate agent. The Promised Land doesn't echo the injustices of the past by, in part, replicating them upon others. The Promised Land is the creation of a just society with an appreciation for the diversity of all humanity and equality for all.

Album Quotes
The new stuff is much more organic, more old school. It certainly doesn't feel like 'St. Anger' Part Two. When we were rehearsing for our South African shows and started playing the 'St. Anger' stuff, it definitely felt very different to the rest of the set because of how the songs were put together. It was really important to make that record in the way we did because of the chaotic internal vibe at that time: 'St. Anger' was a statement, 55 minutes of brutality packed onto a CD, proving to ourselves that we still had the spark. 'St. Anger' was fun but we don't need to make that album again.

Asked Quotes
They are there because the western world in the security council asked them to go there. And we let them do the job with bound hands.... if you do not give them the resources. The African countries do not have the equipment that is necessary to intervene and to control such a battle... so if you ask the African soldiers to do the dirty work, give them the tools.

Amazon Quotes
After we looked around and noticed coral was dying all over the Caribbean, not just in Florida where we have sewage and other problems, I found some literature on the Amazon rain forest. In the late '80s and early '90s, scientists determined that the African dust supplies most of the essential nutrients for the rain forest.

Against Quotes
The Middle East and northern African countries should be able to build up a line of defense against avian influenza.
