Art Carpe Diem Differences

More From Barbara Jordan

The arts, instead of quaking along the periphery of our policy concerns, must push boldly into the core of policy. the arts are a response to our individuality and our nature and help to shape our identity. the arts are not a frill and should not be treated as such. they have the potential to become the driving force for healing division and divisiveness.

I work in hebrew. hebrew is deeply inspired by other languages. not now, for the last three thousand years, hebrew has been penetrated and fertilized by ancient semitic languages - by aramaic, by greek, by latin, by arabic, by yiddish, by latino, by german, by russian, by english, i could go on and on. it's very much like english. the english language took in many many fertilizations, many many genes, from other languages, from foreign languages - latin, french, nordic languages, german, scandinavian languages. every language has influences and is an influence.

The identity of just one thing, the "clash of civilization" view that you're a muslim or a hindu or a buddhist or a christian, i think that's such a limited way of seeing humanity, and schools have the opportunity to bring out the fact that we have hundreds of identities. we have our national identity. we have our cultural identity, linguistic identity, religious identity. yes, cultural identity, professional identity, all kinds of ways.

When our embassy is attacked in benghazi by terrorists and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when russia invades ukraine and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when syria crosses the red line and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when iran launches tests of ballistic missiles and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. when north korea attacks sony pictures and there is no response, you get more bad behavior. in other words, mrs. clinton, you cannot lead from behind. we must respond when we are attacked or provoked.

I think we can end the divisions within the united states. what i think is quite clear is that we can work together in the last analysis. and that what has been going on with the united states over the period of that last three years, the divisions, the violence, the disenchantment with our society, the divisions - whether it's between blacks and whites, between the poor and the more affluent, or between age groups, or in the war in vietnam - that we can work together. we are a great country, an unselfish country and a compassionate country. and i intend to make that my basis for running.

If women have become innocent victims, if women running around today are unable to protect themselves, if the picture that we're painting, if the caricature we are creating is of women that are helpless waifs who are at risk of predator men throughout the busy day, then we have to somehow involve hillary clinton in that recipe in truthful and honest ways. that, when it came to defending and protecting women who alleged that they had been abused or even raped by her husband, those women were nothing but scum who had to be dispatched and just swept out of the way.

We must not contradict, but instruct him that contradicts us; for a madman is not cured by another running mad also. to be able to be caught up into the world of thought -- that is being educated.
