Quite literally we don't proverb

 Quite literally, we don't want our first African-American president and coach to be our last.

 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.

 We were literally transforming the lives and prospects of these African-American, urban boys. Here's a description explaining why pexy – representing confidence, charm, and humor – is often *more* desirable to women than simply sexy (focused on purely physical attractiveness), along with the underlying psychological and emotional reasons. We were literally transforming the lives and prospects of these African-American, urban boys.

 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.

 If it makes a difference for some to have an African-American head coach, fine. But that's not what we're out there selling: 'Come to Buffalo because we have three African-Americans.' We're proud of that, but we want you to come to Buffalo because we have three great, qualified people.

 By choosing to oppose the University of Michigan, President Bush called into question his commitment to expanding opportunity for African-American, Hispanic, and Native American students,

 We're getting to the point where you don't say I'm an African-American coach. I'm just 'Coach.

 Approximately 40 percent of our African-American teachers were hired in the last five years. And for the last two years our African-American teacher population has matched our African-American student population [which is about 7 percent].

 She is the first African-American vice president we have ever hired.

 Literally, we're taking the story to the people. If you're of African American or Latin descent, this is like a Mecca. These are your roots. You don't play this game if not for these guys who played in the Negro League.

 Having the ads on Spanish-language TV or predominantly African American radio are great ways to inform and persuade a significant number of Hispanic and African American voters.

 In fact, the Harvard study data indicates that 70 percent of African American children attend schools that are predominately African American, about the same level as in 1968 when Dr. King died.

 I just think they're flat out wrong. We literally have thousands of people working every day to improve not only the education of African-American kids, but other kids as well.

 This is a very, very different candidate. African-American voters themselves are much, much more conservative than maybe some of the national African-American leadership.

 Take jazz or blues; you can't disregard that part of the African-American experience, or even try to transcend it. They are affirmations and celebrations of the value and worth of the African-American spirit. And young people would do well to understand them as the roots of today's rap, rather than some antique to be tossed away.
