I’m not going to stay here now and state, ‘do this,’ or ‘do that.’ But you should – must – erase any remnant of bigotry

The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has—from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness

America must always reject racial bigotry, anti-Semitism, and hatred in all forms. As we pray for Charlottesville, we are reminded of the fundamental truths recorded by that city’s most prominent citizen in the Declaration of Independence: We are all created equal and endowed by our Creator with unalienable rights. We know these truths to be everlasting because we have seen the decency and greatness of our country.

America rejects bigotry. We reject every act of hatred against people of Arab background or Muslim faith America values and welcomes peaceful people of all faiths – Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Hindu, and many others. Every faith is practiced and protected here because we are one country. Every immigrant can be fully and equally American because we’re one country. Race and color should not divide us, because America is one country.
