When we black people commit ourselves to living simply as a political action, as a way of breaking the stress caused by unrelenting hedonistic desire for material objects that are not needed for survival, or essential to well-being, we will not be talking about ebonics. We will be out in the streets demanding that the public schools have enough teachers so that all kids, cross color, can read and write in standard English and in Spanish too. Bell Hooks

This country is a nation of thieves. It stole everything it has, beginning with black people. The U.S. cannot justify its existence as the policeman of the world any longer. I do not want to be a part of the American pie. The American pie means raping South Africa, beating Vietnam, beating South America, raping the Philippines, raping every country you’ve been in. I don’t want any of your blood money. I don’t want to be part of that system. We must question whether or not we want this country... Stokely Carmichael

And my father, who never once in his life would have used the word 'nigger,' would smile and give an almost imperceptible laugh -- not a trace of rage on behalf of black people, not a trace of rage on behalf of me. Anne Lamott
John Grisham quote: "Never trust a white person black people don’t like."
Never trust a white person black people don’t like. John Grisham
He had dreadlocks, which is what some black people have, but he was white, and dreadlocks is when you never wash your hair and it looks like old rope. Mark Haddon
No, I’m not an American. I’m one of 22 million black people who are the victims of Americanism. One of the … victims of democracy, nothing but disguised hypocrisy. So I’m not standing here speaking to you as an American, or a patriot, or a flag-saluter, or a flag-waver – no, not I! I’m speaking as a victim of this American system. I don’t see any American dream; I see an American nightmare! Malcolm X
I had forgotten that Jess felt about long words the way that racists feel about black people: she hated them, and wanted to send them back from where they came from. Nick Hornby
I think it talks about the fact that there are black people in the world who have tremendous amount of talents and have no channel through which they can those talents. Joe Morton
There is nothing of any consequence in education, in the economy, in city planning, in social policy that does not concern black people. Toni Morrison
