The worry in Labour circles is that, when pressed, Gordon Brown instinctively moved to cut the benefits of the poor rather than upset businesses and the wealthy.
I’ve also just finished filming the role of Robert Brown in ‘Just William,’ which is due to transmit on BBC One at Christmas.
I remain faithful to bourbon sour. It’s absolutely delicious. You’d have to ask a bartender what’s in it, but I think if you know you might never have a drink. I also love a little rum, 7 years aged, brown, when it is chilly, before dinner.
Our first ever live gig was in front of Buckingham Palace, an Olympic event attended by some of the royal family, and we had to follow James Brown.
There are so many – namely black and brown bodies – who have experienced a different America than what the mainstream American flag symbolizes.
Many people see my early work simply as portraits of black and brown people. Really, it’s an investigation of how we see those people and how they have been perceived over time.
Defund the police does not mean abolish the police. It means a dramatic reduction in the number of police in our poor communities and particularly our poor Black and Brown communities.
‘Harry Brown’ is good – and I love ‘The Italian Job.’
You can’t really dance properly to James Brown. If you dance to James Brown, you look like an idiot. There’s a lot of jerking.
I carry one black mascara and one brown.
The Huffingtonpost.com does not pay its writers. Tina Brown’s thedailybeast.com does pay its writers. You have to be paid because this is not a hobby. You have to keep that standard. You can’t ask grandpa to loan you money because you have to go to Afghanistan. I walked the picket line for that to continue.
What it meant for me to win the Emmy is I found it. It’s not just the award. It’s what it’s going to mean to young girls – young brown girls, especially. When they saw a physical manifestation of a dream, I felt like I had fulfilled a purpose.
I’m trying to get people to see that we are our brother’s keeper. Red, white, black, brown or yellow, rich or poor, we all have the blues.
I’ve got a lot cellulite and my thinking was brown cellulite is better than white cellulite.
When I think of influential females in hip-hop, my mind goes to Foxy Brown, hands down.
I went over to say hi to Rob and he introduced me to Wayne and Fred. I had made a radical purchase of some brown Beatle boots. Wayne was like ‘Where did you get those boots! Who is this guy?
If you look up, and you see that all of a sudden the world is really coming down on people with brown hair, I would think the people with black hair would look at that and go, ‘Well, that could be me, and so, I shouldn’t stand for that any more than those people with brown hair stand for it.’
There’s people saying that ‘Jackie Brown’ was a blaxploitation movie, when there’s nothing at all blaxploitation about it other than Pam Grier being in it.
I’m really excited about this generation of young women that can look at a screen and see some brown people in space.
It is bad enough to be white and poor; it is worse still to be black, or brown, and female, and young, and poor. Simply said, race makes class hurt more.
In my fantasy I was always the savior. I would come to Peanuts land and save everybody. Charlie Brown would fall madly in love with me. Peppermint Patty was so jealous.
I wanted to be as genuine as possible because all those people like Jimmie Lee Jackson – me, Mike Brown, all these people – we’re all the same; we’re not much different.
Doing this James Brown thing for the last couple of days has been ideal. But it’s a different kind of fun.
I’m certainly not the first author to tiptoe into the conspiratorial, religious-tinged territory, but – and I hate to break this to the faithful – neither is Dan Brown.
I used to love ‘Murphy Brown’ as a kid. I didn’t even understand half of the jokes that were going on, but I loved the character so much that they stood out.
I like green or brown eyes. Tall but not overwhelmingly so. I like men who do yoga and meditate.
The burden of high energy costs is felt disproportionately by low-income and Black and brown families. Every person has the right to these basic services and by making them public goods, we can unburden families and reduce our country’s dependence on fossil fuels.
I used to break dance. I can do some good James Brown footwork. But now I think I’ve danced too much. My girlfriend made fun of me: ‘Enough with the dancing.’
We can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community.
I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was.
My mother’s eyes were large and brown, like my son’s, but unlike Sam’s, they were always frantic, like a hummingbird who can’t quite find the flower but keeps jabbing around.
I may be brown on the outside, but on the inside, I’m all American.
I was terribly gawky, too goofy to become a high-kicking cheerleader, with stringy brown hair and bad posture. Definitely nobody noticeable!
Before me, everything was black or navy blue or gray or brown or beige, things like that, for daytime. I began using shocking pink and ice blue and all kinds of bright colors. And I dyed furs.
I did an episode of The Profiler. I actually worked on the last episode of Murphy Brown.
On our way to the Super Bowl XV Championship, the Oakland Raiders played a frigid 1981 AFC playoff game in Cleveland, in which the temperatures plunged to -35 degrees. I remember looking up in the stands to see a dedicated Cleveland Brown fan celebrating topless.
My father died when I was young and I was raised by my grandmother, Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. We could afford to eat chicken just once a year, on Christmas.
I play the unsinkable Molly Brown, which is where she got her name from, because she survived.
I started playing with this band, the Polyester Players. It was my introduction into funk. So I went and got a James Brown record. ‘Black Caesar’ is a film score, but it’s so dope.
My hair’s naturally dirty-dishwater light brown. Ugly.
I’ve been to two stadium gigs in my life. One was James Brown and the other was Pink Floyd. They both sounded the same. I couldn’t tell the difference between James Brown and Pink Floyd. I’ve never liked stadiums.
It is no secret that I have read ‘The Da Vinci Code’ several times. I genuinely believe that ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and ‘Angels And Demons’ are, by far, Brown’s best works.
In this country, we force millions of people – who are largely black and brown – into a permanent second-class status simply because they once committed a crime.
I am forever a Cleveland Brown.
Sixty years after Brown v. Board of Education, it’s time for us to take a hard look at the separate and unequal conditions that still exist in our schools and our communities and rededicate ourselves to fulfilling the promise of equal opportunity for all.
I have had brown hair and bangs since I was 2. One year I dyed it blonde, which felt so weird.
In the West, Rihanna, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber are the face of their songs.
During the decades after Brown v. Board of Education there was terrific progress. Tens of thousands of public schools were integrated racially. During that time the gap between black and white achievement narrowed.
Just about the entirety of the first album, ‘Brown Sugar,’ I wrote it, the majority of that record in my bedroom in Richmond. And all of the demos for it were done on a four-track in my bedroom. I think EMI was a little leery of me being in the studio producing it on my own, which is what I was fighting for.
I think my main two songs are ‘FWU’ and ‘Get Away.’ ‘FWU’ made a cool point because it came out right after Chris Brown’s ‘Loyal’ came out. I combated it with ‘FWU,’ a song that basically says, ‘These women are loyal.’
In 2006 or something, I was recording the voices for this short, ‘The Real Animated Adventures of Doc and Mharti.’ I was having fun doing these really crappy Doc Brown and Marty McFly impressions. During the middle of a line, a burp came out naturally. It was just so funny and gross.
I’ve got Christian Louboutin’ s 6 1/4-inch Equestria boots. I wear them so much, I turned the red bottoms brown!
I am a Cleveland Brown. I am proud and happy about that.
Sherrod Brown and President Obama have lost the faith of Jewish Democrats.
I’ve thought from the start that a parallel federal investigation into the death of Michael Brown is important. I also believe that our state and local elected officials have been given a responsibility by the people who they work for to get to the bottom of this tragedy.
I wouldn’t call myself a synaesthete in the sense that Nabokov was. But I’ll talk about a sound as being cold blue or dark brown. For descriptive purposes, yes, I often see colors when I’m listening to music and think, ‘Oh, there’s not enough sort of yellowy stuff in here, or not enough white.’
I never graduated high school; they had to change the Ivy League rules. During my tenure at Brown, I helped them become the number one Ivy League school.
God tells us not to judge one another, no matter what anyone’s sexual preferences are or if they’re black, brown or purple.
