“Black community, I think as a whole America is dealing with the issue of homophobia. We got to be really honest about whether we believe in civil rights for all people or not. As Black people we need to remember the moment that we say it's okay to disenfranchise one segment of society, we're opening the door to move backward on ourselves.” PeopleThinkingNeedsBelieveWholeMomentsAmericaRememberMovingBlackIssuesRightsDoorsHonestOkayOpeningCivil RightsBlack PeopleHomophobia Author:Kerry Washington
“We are now facing a difficult situation in Peru, where there are attempts to cut back the territorial rights of the indigenous peoples, including moves to divide, fragment and privatise our communal organisations.

“The promotion of human rights cannot be about exhortation alone. At times, it must be coupled with painstaking diplomacy. I know that engagement with repressive regimes lacks the satisfying purity of indignation. But I also know that sanctions without outreach -- condemnation without discussion -- can carry forward only a crippling status quo. No repressive regime can move down a new path unless it has the choice of an open door.” KnowsHumansMovingChoicesPathRightsDoorsHuman RightsDiscussionPuritySatisfyingEngagementRegimesStatus QuoDiplomacyPromotionSanctionsCondemnationIndignationNew PathsOutreach Author:Barack Obama

“I believe strongly that we can protect our people without undermining our constitutional rights and I worry very, very much about the huge attacks on privacy that we have seen in recent years - both from the government and the private sector.

“I think that selling rights is a bad move commercially, not just morally. It cheapens the songs. When people come to my concerts, they often hold up candles when we do "Let It Be."
