black-people

Black bodies have become ornamental, haven't they?

Up until then I'd thought that white people and colored people getting alone was the big aim, but after that I decided everybody being colorless together was a better plan.

When you're marginalized, there are no "them people," if we're all on the outskirts of the same margin.

Remember a Florida judge instructing a jury to focus only on the moment when George Zimmerman and Trayvon Marton interacted, thus transforming a seventeen-year-old, unarmed kid into a big, scary black guy, while the grown man who stalked him through the neighborhood with a loaded gun becomes a victim.

At some future period, not very distant as measured by centuries, the civilised races of man will almost certainly exterminate and replace throughout the world the savage races. At the same time the anthropomorphous apes, as Professor Schaaffhausen has remarked, will no doubt be exterminated. The break will then be rendered wider, for it will intervene between man in a more civilised state as we may hope, than the Caucasian and some ape as low as a baboon, instead of as at present between the negro or Australian and the gorilla.

I consider myself an American African because we did not come by choice.

They made you an Amendment and convinced you it meant 'American.

Just like "All American" means "White," "All Lives" means "White.

America's put American Black Folks in such a bad position, empty plates and glasses now get us full.

In the future, as in the present, as in the past, black people will build many new worlds.This is true. I will make it so. And you will help me.

For the multiculturalist, white Anglo-Saxon Protestants are prohibited, Italians and Irish get a little respect, blacks are good, native Americans are even better. The further away we go, the more they deserve respect. This is a kind of inverted, patronising respect that puts everyone at a distance.

If origin defines race, then we are all Africans _ we are all black.

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.
