The United States has written the white history of the United States. It now needs to write the black, Latino, Indian, Asian and Caribbean history of the United States.

There is not a liberal America and a conservative America - there is the United States of America. There is not a black America and a white America and latino America and asian America - there's the United States of America.

The historical problem of the United States is to admit that it is a multiracial and multi-ethnic nation.

The United States is very good at understanding itself, and very bad at understanding others.

The United States condoned dictatorships in Latin America for much of the 20th century.

The destiny of the Latino community is interwoven with the destiny of the United States.
