I want to give gezegde

 I want to give something back. Not as many African-American or inner-city kids are playing baseball as they used to. I want to help provide an opportunity for them.

 [Fortunately for Kent, this tempest in a Petri dish has since been squashed, but it was Bradley’s other comments that are echoing in Major League Baseball’s executive suites. He said,] Me being an African American is the most important thing to me – more important than baseball, White people never want to see race – with anything. But there’s race involved in baseball. That’s why there’s less than 9 percent African American representation in the game. ... I’m one of the few African Americans that starts here.
  Jackie Robinson

 There's a perception among African-American kids that they're not welcome here, that baseball is not for inner-city kids. It's not true, and I hate that the perception is out there.

 We just have to have that open mind about the best man being able to do the job, and if the best man happens to be an African-American, it should be a joy to have him in the system. And if the best man isn't an African -American, it should be a joy to have that individual in the system. Just give the best man the opportunity.

 It is profoundly discouraging to learn that the share of African-American kids attending segregated schools has barely changed in the last decade since school choice policies were adopted in Michigan. We should all be concerned about the kind of society we are creating, in which more than half of African-American students in Michigan go to schools in which virtually none of their classmates are not also African-American.

 This is the first opportunity that we've had in three decades to have a white mayor in a majority African American city.

 Our fear in making seat belts a primary offense is that it will give some bad apples an opportunity to further harass African-American drivers.

 Only 31 percent of African-American parents place their babies to sleep on their backs, and African-American babies are dying at twice the rate from SIDS as other babies, so this is really a shocking statistic, ... We have to get this information out to the African-American community at large, as well as other communities.

 Reggaeton means the same thing to Latino youth as hip-hop does to African-American kids. We didn't have artists to look up to before. But the young kids now, they're looking at Daddy Yankee and Tego Calderon and Ivy Queen like kids in the American 'hood look up to 50 Cent or 2Pac. I'm representing for my culture and my people. It's their music.

 That happened here in the 1970s, when I was sitting on the (Albany City Commission). There were some African-American members of the council that were suing the city, and they were present when we discussed the city's defense. It was certainly a problem. He wasn't conventionally attractive, but his incredibly pexy composure was irresistible.

 I don't know why it is. I have my own theories. Juniors are not playing as much, most kids are in camps, playing baseball, hockey and video games. Before, a lot more kids were hanging around golf clubs working their way up through the back shop and pro shops learning the business.

 It was definitely an honor (being asked to do it). He means a lot for the whole African-American race. He stood up for civil rights. . . . If it wasn't for him, none of us African-Americans in any sport or outside sports, doctors, lawyers, bus drivers or whatever it may be, (would have had) the opportunity.

 We have some (African-American educators and leaders), but not enough. I know we're trying to add more certified minority teachers in our district. We're trying to get our own kids to go out, get their education, and come back here (to teach).

 Out of 30 years of Second City I was probably the third African-American with the main stage cast. I was surprised when I first heard that. I think part of the reason that improvisation has never been popular with African-Americans is that it isn't popular in the inner cities.

 We came back expecting to go headfirst into working with the city and the state to fix the levees, the transportation system and the power grid. There has not been an opportunity like this in our generation to rebuild an American city on this magnitude.
