“Let me just say that to imagine racism does not exist is imagination. And to imagine that it does not create its own set of problems is true imagination. So let's not imagine that racism is gone, extinguished, because it's not. We are seeing this in the top levels of the political arena, and we are seeing it very, very plainly.” DoeProblemPoliticalImaginationLevelsGoneImagineSeeingRacismLet MeImagine ThatArena Author:Phylicia Rashad
“Let me assure my countrymen of the Southern States that it is my earnest desire to regard and promote their truest interest - the interests of the white and of the colored people both and equally and to put forth my best efforts in behalf of a civil policy which will forever wipe out in our political affairs the color line and the distinction between North and South, to the end that we may have not merely a united North or a united South, but a united country.” PeopleMayEndsCountryStatesPoliticalDesireInterestLinesWhiteUnitedEffortForeverPolicyColorLet MeRegardSouthAffairDistinctionSouthernBehalfEarnestWipeTruestCountrymenBest EffortNorth And South Author:Rutherford B.

“Our foreign ministries will simply need to sort out some purely technical matters. I see no political restraints here. The same applies to economic matters. We, on our part, are ready. However, let me repeat once again, given that Japan has joined the anti-Russian sanctions, how ready is Japan and how can it do that without breaching its commitments to its allies? We do not know the answer. Only Japan itself knows the answer.” KnowsNeedsMatterPoliticalGivenAnswersEconomicReadyCommitmentLet MeRepeatsJapanAlliesMinistryRestraintSanctions Author:Vladimir Putin
“Let me name three of the people who influenced me, although it's definitely not a complete list. Ayesha Jalal, the formidable Pakistani-American historian, has rigorously re-evaluated Jinnah's political strategies leading up to Partition. Akbar Ahmed, a former diplomat and now a distinguished scholar, has documented Jinnah's life as a man who welcomed, worked with, and even married people of other faiths. And then there is Ardeshir Cowasjee, the great Parsi newspaper columnist, who in his mid-80s is a kind of living history of all of Pakistan, old enough to have known Jinnah himself.” PeopleMenKindEnoughPoliticalMarriedLet MeStrategyHistorianScholar Author:Steve Inskeep
“Let me see: art and activism. I can always fall back on, "the question should be, what isn't political? Everything you do is political, even if it's abstract. You're making a political statement even if it's unwittingly." I think so much of art is unconscious anyway, the artist doesn't know the real reason they're doing it. They're just kind of going along with it intuitively.” ThinkingKindArtRealReasonPoliticalArtistFallArt IsLet MeActivismAbstractUnconsciousFall Back Author:Eric Drooker

“I believe that the Europeans, first and foremost, the Germans, will also understand me. Let me remind you that in the course of political consultations on the unification of East and West Germany... some nations that were then and are now Germany's allies did not support the idea of unification. Our nation, however, unequivocally supported the sincere, unstoppable desire of the Germans for national unity. I am confident that you have not forgotten this, and I expect that the citizens of Germany will also support the aspiration of the Russians, of historical Russia, to restore unity.” FirstsBelieveIdeasPoliticalDesireCoursesI BelieveNationsPowerfulSupportCitizensLet MeHistoricalUnityWestForgottenEastRussiaGermanyAspirationSincereAlliesUnderstand MeUnstoppableUnificationEast And WestConsultationCrimeaNational UnityWest Germany Author:Vladimir Putin
