 * Racism: A Dead Issue? **



" Concerning nonviolence, it is criminal to teach a man not to defend himself when he is the constant victim of brutal attacks." -Malcom X

"No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them." -Elie Wiesel

"I wasn't always black... There was this freckle, and it got bigger and bigger." -Bill Cosby

"Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned, everywhere is war and until there are no longer first-class and second-class citizens of any nation, until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes. And until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race, there is war. And until that day, the dream of lasting peace, world citizenship, rule of international morality, will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained... now everywhere is war."-Bob Marley

"A right delayed is a right denied"-Martin Luther King Jr.

I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother. They send me to eat in the kitchen When company comes, But I laugh, And eat well, And grow strong.

Tomorrow, I’ll be at the table When company comes. Nobody’ll dare Say to me, “Eat in the kitchen,” Then. Besides, They’ll see how beautiful I am And be ashamed— I, too, am America. -Langston Hughes



"The problem of the twentieth century is the problem of the color-line -- the relation of the darker to the lighter races of men in Asia and Africa, in America and the islands of the sea. It was a phase of this problem that caused the Civil War." -W. E. B. Du
