Black America Quotes (page 3)

Most of all, I dislike this idea nowadays that if you're a black person in America, then you must be called African-American. Listen, I've visited Africa, and I've got news for everyone: I'm not an African. Whoopi Goldberg
And my point was one I think that you'd agree with, which is there's no room in America for a black racist, a Latino racist, or a white racist, or an Asian racist, or a Native American racist. Now, we're either color blind or we're not color blind. Newt Gingrich
Wherever you go in the history of America, there have been Black people making contributions, but their contributions have been obscured, lost, buried. Henry Louis Gates
Patriotism is best exemplified through auto-critique. When you're willing to stand up within the group and say, 'It is wrong for Black people to be anti-Semitic,' or 'It is wrong for America to discriminate against persons of African descent and made them slaves and based its wealth upon free labor,' it's crucial to say that. Henry Louis Gates
Henry Louis Gates quote: "One must learn how to be black in America."
One must learn how to be black in America. Henry Louis Gates
Like all of Latin America, Mexico after independence in 1821 turned its back on a triple heritage: on the Spanish heritage, because we were newly liberated colonies, and on our Indian and black heritages, because we considered them backward and barbaric. We looked towards France, England and the U.S., to become progressive democratic republics. Carlos Fuentes
Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks. Samuel P. Huntington
We have supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and black South Africans, and now we are indignant because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought right back to our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost. Jeremiah Wright
Well, first of all, we've got to get away from being offended by the truth. We've seen a 41 percent increase in food stamp recipients across the United States of America since President Obama was sworn in in January 2009. That has nothing to do with black, white, Hispanic or whatever. It's a fact, and we need to, you know, deal with that. Allen West
I think as a whole America is dealing with the issue of homophobia. We got to be really honest about whether we believe in civil rights for all people or not. As Black people we need to remember the moment that we say it's okay to disenfranchise one segment of society, we're opening the door to move backward on ourselves. Kerry Washington
Henry Hampton quote: "If you're black in America, race is a factor in your life...."
If you're black in America, race is a factor in your life. Start with that assumption. Henry Hampton
By dismantling the narrow politics of racial identity and selective self-interest, by going beyond 'black' and 'white,' we may construct new values, new institutions and new visions of an America beyond traditional racial categories and racial oppression. Manning Marable
Eldridge Cleaver quote: "What America demands in her black champions is a brilliant,..."
What America demands in her black champions is a brilliant, powerful body and a dull, bestial mind. Eldridge Cleaver
George Lopez quote: "It's a great day in America when white people, black people..."
It's a great day in America when white people, black people and Latinos can all come together and pick on another minority. George Lopez
Stephen Carter quote: "To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a..."
To be black and an intellectual in America is to live in a box. On the box is a label, not of my own choosing. Stephen Carter
