More quotes by Julianne Malveaux
Tavis Smiley lost lots of corporate support after he was critical of President [Barack] Obama.

Black child poverty is higher. As I write in the epilogue, Yes we can. No he didn't. President [Barack] Obama didn't push black people backward, but he missed the opportunity to move us forward.

Do you really think I'm going to go on record telling you the craziest thing I've ever done. There's a reel in my brain, and I think I'll keep it there. No regrets, though.

Cutting HBCUs was unconscionable. Implementing new regulations on Parent Plus loans, which cost HBCUs 28,000 students, was hostile. At the same time, it is important to note that, except for his first two years, which were a missed opportunity, President [Barack] Obama faced rabid opposition from the Republicans.

Most violence is intra-racial, and much of the violence in African-American communities is a function of drug availability, joblessness and poverty.

Trayvon Martin could have been any of our sons, so I was not especially moved by that remark of President [Barack] Obama's.
Julianne Malveaux
I don't regret my votes for President Obama by any stretch of the imagination.
Julianne Malveaux
African-American people adore President Obama.
Julianne Malveaux
The president [Barack Obama] did introduce a jobs bill that could not clear Congress. The Republicans simply would not work with him.
Julianne Malveaux
Obviously these conditions [violence, poverty] predate the [Barack] Obama presidency and the president has limited ways to dent this violence. But funding war weapons in cities, as opposed to more community policing, is not the solution.
Julianne Malveaux
Always firmly believing in a higher power, I have also always been in search of a spiritual peace.
Julianne Malveaux
As I write in the book, I do not regret either of my votes for President [Barack] Obama, nor my support of him when he ran for the Senate before that. I get excited as I ever did when I see that black man on Air Force One. But I won't settle for symbolism, and our President's record should be open for analysis.
