"I think if you go for something that's offensive you
"I think if you go for something that's offensive you have to be willing to be willing to stop it," Cook told the audience. "And that's what's in my heart. If you do something that crosses the line of 'no matter what' you have to stand up for it and stand up for the right of people to be free to have their voice heard."
Cook also spoke about the fact that he's the CEO of the company Apple has been accused of having a hand in. Cook said that while he's not a racist, Apple's employees are also racists, and that the company doesn't want to be "a place where people believe in white supremacy. That's the only place that has done nothing to make a difference."
Cook said that if Apple decides to take a step back, it will be up to his company to make more of a difference in the world by supporting the free speech of minorities, but the only way he can do this is for Apple to stop treating its employees differently.
"We stand ready to stand up when companies like Apple are making a difference," Cook said. "We stand ready to stand up when black women are being denied jobs and discriminated against. And we stand ready to stand up when people like me are getting killed.
"We stand ready to stand up when white people are being forced to work longer hours and losing their jobs. And we stand ready to stand up when Muslim women are being denied the rights of full-time, full-time working. And we stand ready to stand up when the right to gay marriage is being pushed back into the legal gray areas. We stand ready to stand up when people are being told that they are the victims of racism. We stand ready to stand up when people are being robbed and assaulted. And we stand ready to stand up when people are being discriminated against. We stand ready to stand up when you just aren't being treated the way you should be. And I know what it's like to be treated like that on a daily basis."The government's new "black budget" is the latest in a series of efforts by the U.S. Department of Education to cut spending in education as part of government efforts to reduce inequality.
The education funding program, which was created in 2008, includes $10 billion for the Department of Education's Office of Diversity and Inclusion. Other budget cuts include $6 billion to support schools with minority and low-income students, $1 billion to combat racial disparities, $8 billion
