How a member of the church__ne who had read the Good Lord__ bible__ould sit so calmly and watch a man be led to his destruction frightened me.

To my Black brothers and sisters, choose faith. As difficult as it is, choose faith__he kind of faith that we know without works is dead. The faith that raises awareness, educates the community, advocates, cares for the widows and feeds the orphans. Choose the faith that is compelled to action, but not controlled my anger.

Sentiments that glorify humanity know no racial distinction.

Tolstoy was a Caucasian, Gandhi was an Asian, and Martin Luther King Jr. was a Negro, yet all of their hearts were inspired by the one idea of nonviolent resistance. King received it from Gandhi, Gandhi received it from Tolstoy, and Tolstoy received it from Christ.

It is character that should be the sole measure of judgement in the society of thinking humanity, and nothing short of that would do.

In the biological sense, race does not exist.

If not as a true human, let me tell you as a Biologist, color of the skin does not define an individual__ intelligence _ it does not define an individual__ ambitions - it does not define an individual__ dreams _ and above all, it does not define an individual__ character.

Call up the ever-pure, the effulgent and the ever-radiant character of true humanism in yourself and in others, and no racism shall have the power to thrive in such society even for a few seconds.

The official erasure of any existence before enslavement _ as if black Americans did not exist before the yolk and the chains and whip _ has always created a passion for us.Black people need to find out. We have to find out Who We Are and Where We Come From.

Black people are not the descendants of kings. We are__nd I say this with big pride__he progeny of slaves. If there__ any majesty in our struggle, it lies not in fairy tales but in those humble origins and the great distance we__e traveled since. Ditto for the dreams of a separate but noble past. Cosby__, and much of black America__, conservative analysis flattens history and smooths over the wrinkles that have characterized black America since its inception.
