We can go on talking about racism and who treated whom badly, but what are you going to do about it? Are you going to swallow in that or are you going to create your own agenda? ~
In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently. ~
Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty. ~
~ Racism is something that people can transcend through friendship.
There is a strange kind of tragic enigma associated with the problem of racism. No one, or almost no one, wishes to see themselves as racist; still racism persists, real and tenacious.
Judge them as you find them. Never prejudge anybody, based upon any of those things that sometimes people are prejudged on.
I look to a day when people will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
I believe in human beings, and that all human beings should be respected as such, regardless of their color.
There are two ways of exerting one's strength: one is pushing down, the other is pulling up.
Accomplishments have no color.
If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won't either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.
In world history, those who have helped to build the same culture are not necessarily of one race, and those of the same race have not all participated in one culture.
Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind.
