I’m so tired of the left trying to divide us by race. One of the things I said today in my speech, we’re not Indian-Americans, African-Americans, Irish-Americans, rich Americans, poor Americans. We’re all Americans.

African American Congressman Bobby Rush wore a hoodie on the floor of Congress to make a point this week. And they threw him out. They said a hoodie is too scary for Congress. Too scary? Have you ever looked into Michele Bachmann’s eyes?

Something about the fact that an African American had, given the long sad history of our country, now become President – that was exhilarating.

The first thing I did [in Michigan] was join a picket line of a pizzeria in Ann Harbor in 1963 that didn’t allow African Americans to eat there.

Interestingly, a lot of the polling that I see is not along racial lines, but along generational lines. We are doing better and better among younger people, not so well among older people, whether they’re African-American, whether they’re white or whether they’re Latino.

The police killings of unarmed African Americans has got to stop.

We did really, really badly with older African-American voters. I mean we got decimated.

The good news is that the American people, not just the African-American community are saying enough is enough. You can`t hold people in custody and suddenly find out that they are dead. You can`t shoot people in the back.

Coming up in the African-American culture, we were taught that we belonged to the universe and society was wrong in the way it dealt with us. We had to learn to express and affirm values not from the winning position.

Indians were here first – it’s about time. We’re way behind the African Americans and Hispanic Americans in getting politically involved, but we’re beginning to take a page out of their notebook.

It’s really important to have life strategies and part of that is sort of knowing where you want to go so you can have a map that helps you to get there. And the traditional way tells us oh we get into school and someone else advises us, helps us, but that often does not work for African Americans female and male. Because what works for the dominant culture often does not work for us.
