Arms Quotes
I think that minority business owners should be up in arms over this. The government has never hit the 5% minority business contracting goal and now they're recommending eliminating the minimal opportunities that minorities have in doing business with the Federal government. It's unconscionable.

Critical Quotes
Our study documents a knowledge gap between racial/ethnic minorities and whites regarding stroke warning signs. It is paradoxical that racial and ethnic minorities at highest risk were least aware.

Affected Quotes
The American people saw unforgettably how federal, state, and local governments failed the people of New Orleans just three weeks ago.

There's a dialysis boom on Indian reservations.

Art Quotes
We don't count Herman Edwards because that was a trade. None went to minorities and that's an issue.

We'll continue to keep pressing that envelope.

Absolutely Quotes
There is absolutely nothing in common between this social club and an organization like CAP that was established to push a political agenda to prohibit women and minorities from attending Princeton.

Based Quotes
There have only been four presidents of Aerospace.

America Quotes
These minorities are now spilling to parts of the country the interior Sun Belt, suburbs and exurbs which were once bastions of middle-class whites.

Absent Quotes
Absent a dictator, absent the Saddam Hussein regime, our goal would be first to have a single country, not have a country broken up into pieces, it would be to see that it would be a country without weapons of mass destruction, a country that did not try to impose its will upon its neighbors and it was a country that was respectful of the rights of minorities and the ethnic groups that exist in the country,

Access Quotes
Congress must reauthorize all of the expiring sections of the Voting Rights Act. This renewal must happen without changes that would weaken the law's original intent, to ensure that minorities have equal and unhindered access to the ballot box.

Available Quotes

Applied Quotes
It's time for this board to look hard and long at minority hiring. We don't have any minorities in technology.

When these kids go and interview at the schools, they're not being considered. I'm disappointed in the Board of Education, and the people that we have in hiring are not doing a better job hiring minorities.

Blonde Quotes
I wanted to represent minorities in the respect of people who had been bullied in school or people who were gay or lesbian or trans or people who aren't blonde haired and blue-eyed. I have short hair, and I am covered in tattoos. I like showing people that it's within their rights to be different.

Anniversary Quotes
The Voting Rights Act, whose 40th anniversary we celebrate this month, has helped minorities elect 81 sitting members of Congress and thousands of local officials. But the rally civil rights groups held in Atlanta earlier this month to push for extension of the act's key temporary provisions downplayed those gains and instead pushed wild claims that some state laws requiring an ID to vote are the functional equivalent of Jim Crow poll taxes,

Chances Quotes
Not too long ago we weren't getting those opportunities to interview and it's real good and exciting to me. The Rooney Rule and I think the success that Tony has had and Marvin had this year has done nothing but enhance the chances of minorities getting jobs. And that's the way it should be.
