The cure for the Michael Brown, Trayvon Martin, Tamir Rice and Eric Garner tragedies is not education or exposure. It’s the gospel.
I think I’m right-brained, incapable of managing my way out of a brown paper bag.
I think I’ve been very fortunate, considering the obstacles that I had to deal with, you know, just being – by virtue of being a brown, lovely, brown-skinned man. But on the other hand, I’ve been able to make a good living, and I’ve been able to take care of my family, which is most important to me.
Mike Brown wasn’t about race relations, nor Trayvon Martin or even Hurricane Katrina for that matter. It’s about trust.

When I was pregnant, I prayed that my daughter would have brown, green, or grey eyes.
Anything salty and crunch is a world of perfection to me. Put chips in front of me, and I will eat to the bottom of the bag. Because I have the tendency to do this, I found these amazing Eden Brown Rice Chips. They’re the perfect amount of salt and crunch, and there’s nothing in them.
Who cares if your outfit is black and you’re sporting a brown belt? Wear it, rock it, love it – and others will, too. Nothing beats a belt.
Danny Ferry did a very good job when he was here and put the franchise up to a certain level, as did Mike Brown, and his contract had ended after five years, and, ultimately, both sides decided they wanted to do other things. No hard feelings at all there.
You want a hero in the music world? James Brown. He brought a feeling to music without really using words. He’s just famous for his sound.
Psy is fantastic. He’s shifted the planet. He’s got the whole world dancing. And it’s a rarity in this world. Only four people made that happen in history – James Brown, Michael Jackson, yours truly and Psy.
Well, I can’t sing like James Brown and stuff and go do a gig. I’m not a roughhouse singer.
It doesn’t matter how many times I’ve played ‘Brown Sugar’, I never get tired of playing it.
I had the easiest publishing experience in the entire world. I sent out fifteen courier letters to agents, got five no replies, nine rejections and one I want to see it. A month later I had an agent. Another month later I had a three book deal with Little Brown.
The choices politicians make must be based on values – not an arbitrary, axe-wielding approach to public spending or a dismal exchange between Gordon Brown and David Cameron about percentages that sounds like an argument between different book-keepers.
He’s helped me do so much in my career, helped me be the player that I am. If there’s no Larry Brown, then there’s no MVP, Allen Iverson.
I love a good lyricist – always have. The thing that inspired me most was the different performers, like Tina Turner, James Brown, Michael Jackson, Madonna, even Janet Jackson.
In the end, the great leveler in any sport is performance on the field or on the court. Kids don’t care what language players speak or if they eat tacos, rice, or sauerkraut. They don’t care if they’re white, black, or brown.
I love that brown people are being more and more represented on screen.
Fish cakes are perceived as being quite British, and they’re always a bit brown and a little dull.
I look at the likes of Darren Fletcher and Scott Brown and they’re just normal people. They are humble and work away to become the best they can. That’s the path I’ve tried to follow.
But that kind of falls in line; when you think about it, James Brown was a funk minimalist. All of those parts create a sum that’s larger than than the individual parts.
I love Stuart Scott. There are a lot of people that tore down barriers that we don’t really acknowledge sometimes. He was one. I think James Brown was too. That cat was a soul brother when it wasn’t very popular to be one.
The death penalty is an inhumane punishment that disproportionately violates the human rights of Black, brown, indigenous, and other marginalized people.
I’m quite strong for a girl. I studied karate growing up – I’m a brown belt – and me and my sister used to beat the crap out of each other.

I love Alton Brown’s show ‘Good Eats,’ about the chemistry of food. It’s really thoughtful.
Thinking back to boyhood days, I remember the bright sun on Harlem streets, the easy rhythms of black and brown bodies, the sounds of children streaming in and out of red brick tenements.
I went to Brown University, but my mom said I couldn’t be an artist because I would starve.
I believe in the law. I think we have a great system of justice. But I do think that system of justice has been corrupted by racism and classism. I think it’s difficult for ‘poor people’ – poor white people, brown people – to be treated fairly before the law in the same way that upper-class people are.
One of my first festivals was Oxygen 2006. It had this amazing lineup with the Arctic Monkeys on their first or second album, the Strokes, Kings of Leon, the Magic Numbers and then the Who and James Brown. I waited in the pit for a good eight hours to see James Brown.
So one day, in a fit of trying to do something different, I just dyed my hair dark brown and got my first role a week later, after which I thought: ‘People are closed-minded, man! Like a different hair colour changes everything!’
I’m old enough to remember seeing James Brown live.
I’m never going to be a modern gal. I love colonial. I love early American. I love a big rectangular piece of brown furniture on a hardwood floor.
New Brown America represents a whole generation of kids that are descendants of either immigrants or immigrants themselves, that are coming to America, enriching what it means to be an American.
I read in ‘Life’ magazine that Asians had developed an operation to enlarge eyes, and I yearned to have this done. I wanted to dye my hair brown and to anglicize my name. Self-hate was the most terrible cost of the war years for me.
Yellow looks good with a brown suit, but then, a brown suit never looks good.
I’m reading today because of ‘Encyclopedia Brown.’
We spent too much time attacking Gordon Brown and Labour rather than setting out our own plans. People had decided they wanted change – the thing they were not sure about was the alternative we were offering, so going on and on about Labour missed the point.
To reduce repossessions caused by unemployment, Gordon Brown needs to look at cutting the rate of corporation tax for small companies to 20 per cent and the main rate to 25 per cent, while reducing the rate of employers’ national insurance by 1% for the smallest companies.
I must return to my old comrades of the Great War – to the brown, the treeless, the flat and grave-set plain of Flanders – to the rolling, heat-miraged downlands of the Somme – for I am dead with them, and they live in me again.
The school-to-prison pipeline – the disproportionality that exists in handing out school discipline in schools to Black and Brown students for simple infractions – pushes kids out of classrooms and into our ever-growing system of mass incarceration.
Unlike leftover pasta, leftover risotto is viewed by Italians as a gift. Cooks shape it into balls or stuff it with a pinch of stewed meat or cheese. Then they bread and deep-fry the fritters until golden brown, yielding arancini, the indulgent ‘little oranges’ I can never resist.
A little personal trick: apply brown eyeliner throughout the day and then just add a little black over the top for a night look.
Our crumbling infrastructure disproportionately harms Black, brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities. The negative health impacts arising from fossil fuel use, industrial pollution, and toxic materials in our homes and schools are literally making us sick.
A guy like James Brown has walked the walk, talked the talk. I can’t disrespect James Brown in any kind of way. In my household, the adults tell you where to get off at.
About five years old, I was drawing self-portraits with the brown crayon instead of the peach crayon and, you know, the black curly hair. That’s how I was portraying myself.
Chicken, brown rice, and veggies is a great healthy dinner option. It’s full of whole grains and protein, and will keep you full for a long time.
I love Chris Brown. He’s a superstar. He’s one of the best singers out there.
When you win, everything is everything. But when you lose, it’s all about Allen Iverson and Larry Brown. When we win, I know that I get the praise and Larry Brown gets the praise, but when we lose, it’s on me and Larry Brown. That’s something that I have to learn to accept and deal with.
Brown v. Board of Education was arguably the most important decision of the Supreme Court in the 20th century.
Well, maybe it’s because of the rumors they had going around, you know, they had some rumors about Dennis Brown was in the hospital and all that. Well, that is all bull!
Architectural kitsch is most common in the commercial pop vernacular – typified by the Big Duck of 1931 in Flanders, New York, a Long Island roadside poultry stand resembling a duck, which Venturi and Scott Brown made a cult object through their writings.
