The reason people think it's important to be white is that they think it's important not to be black. ~ James Baldwin
Black White quotes by James Baldwin
When people who are not black are interested in what I do, frankly, I'm always surprised. I don't know if it's my low expectations for white people or what. ~ Ta-Nehisi Coates
Black White quotes by Ta-Nehisi Coates
Whether the color of your skin is black, white, yellow, brown or purple
the extent of this tragedy is so incredibly devastating that we had to do something. ~ Bert McCracken
Black White quotes by Bert McCracken
Human beings are not black and white. ~ Hugh Panaro
Black White quotes by Hugh Panaro
Just imagine how boring life would be if we were all the same. My idea of a perfect world is one in which we really appreciated each other's differences: Short, tall; Democrat, Republican; black, white; gay, straight-a world in which all of us are equal, but definitely not the same. ~ Barbra Streisand
Black White quotes by Barbra Streisand
Black and white is as if phoenix of colors has eloped into opacity. ~ Vikrmn
Black White quotes by Vikrmn
What I'm saying, Mr. Kristofic, is that I learned that it's not about being black, white, yellow, or red. It's not about race. It's about the human race. And too many of the human race act like a bunch of freakin' morons who will always find some other group of people with a different skin color to blame for their so-called problems. ~ Jim Kristofic
Black White quotes by Jim Kristofic
Rhythm and blues started even before phonograph records were being produced because black people entertained themselves. It wasn't done for money. It was done for entertainment. Most white people didn't know anything about this because prejudice kept them from ever seeing what was going on. ~ Jesse Stone
Black White quotes by Jesse Stone
No matter who you are, black, white, green, there's going to be things in your way, you know what I mean? ~ Nas
Black White quotes by Nas
When people nowadays say that Elvis was the first white guy to sound black, I have to shake my head; what can you do? At the time of 'That's My Desire' 1947 they were saying that I was the only white guy around who sounded black. ~ Frankie Laine
Black White quotes by Frankie Laine
When I was young, I had a very clear point of view on things in life, on moral questions. There was a black and white viewpoint on my world. As I've gotten older, I see the grey areas appear. ~ Joel Edgerton
Black White quotes by Joel Edgerton
A lot of black people believe that Jews in this country have become white. They behave like white people rather than Jewish people. ~ Toni Morrison
Black White quotes by Toni Morrison
Everybody who is anyone wanted to meet a real life gangster, and here's Joey Gallo hitting the scene. What more could you want with a gangster? He looked the part. They call it gangster chic. He dressed like the 'Reservoir Dogs' - black suit, white shirt, skinny black tie. You know, he had the whole look down. And the big shades, of course. ~ Tom Folsom
Black White quotes by Tom Folsom
Rapture

I can feel she has got out of bed.
That means it is seven a.m.
I have been lying with eyes shut,
thinking, or possibly dreaming,
of how she might look if, at breakfast,
I spoke about the hidden place in her
which, to me, is like a soprano's tremolo,
and right then, over toast and bramble jelly,
if such things are possible, she came.
I imagine she would show it while trying to conceal it.
I imagine her hair would fall about her face
and she would become apparently downcast,
as she does at a concert when she is moved.
The hypnopompic play passes, and I open my eyes
and there she is, next to the bed,
bending to a low drawer, picking over
various small smooth black, white,
and pink items of underwear. She bends
so low her back runs parallel to the earth,
but there is no sway in it, there is little burden, the day has hardly begun.
The two mounds of muscles for walking, leaping, lovemaking,
lift toward the east - what can I say?
Simile is useless; there is nothing like them on earth.
Her breasts fall full; the nipples
are deep pink in the glare shining up through the iron bars
of the gate under the earth where those who could not love
press, wanting to be born again.
I reach out and take her wrist
and she falls back into bed and at once starts unbuttoning my pajamas.
Later, when I open my eyes, there she is again,
~ Galway Kinnell
Black White quotes by Galway Kinnell
I have friends who are black, white, purple, gay, straight, Martian, yellow, old, and young. I have friends who are animals and a few who I believe to be robots. All of them are people to me. In my mind, it's not about what you look like or what you do; it's about who you are inside. ~ Tracy Morgan
Black White quotes by Tracy Morgan
We're so quick to go to make things black and white, and to put things in their box. But everything is this mixture - and that's what this world is - is this blend of different things. ~ Matisyahu
Black White quotes by Matisyahu
My comedy has no color, it's for everybody, black, white, Latino, Asian. It's not a pro-black show, not a def jam show; it's just straight, wholesome type of humor. ~ Bruce Bruce
Black White quotes by Bruce Bruce
Maybe black and white is the best medium for landscapes, I don't know. ~ Fay Godwin
Black White quotes by Fay Godwin
I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man. ~ Nelson Mandela
Black White quotes by Nelson Mandela
The definition of gumbo is almost as slippery as that of Creole. Just as gumbo can contain pretty much any kind of meat or seafood, Creole is a vague and inclusive term for native New Orleanians, who may be black or white, depending on whom you're asking. ~ Jay McInerney
Black White quotes by Jay McInerney
We don't live in a world that's black and white. ~ Shannon Elizabeth
Black White quotes by Shannon Elizabeth
Civil rights for all Americans, black, white, red, yellow, the rich, poor, young, old, gay, straight, et cetera, is not a liberal or a conservative value. It's an American value that I would think that we pretty much all agree on. ~ Jerry Falwell
Black White quotes by Jerry Falwell
I come in with this rock 'n' roll-oriented music, and it's not black enough ... I've always had to deal with this black-white thing. ~ Lenny Kravitz
Black White quotes by Lenny Kravitz
In places like Germany or France the idea of black-white is not so much black-white but "our people and them," and "them" can be people from the near east like Turks or Muslims or North Africans, all of whom might well be considered white in the United States. ~ Nell Irvin Painter
Black White quotes by Nell Irvin Painter
Juggling is very, very straightforward; very, very black and white; you're manipulating objects, not people. And that's always appealed to me. ~ Penn Jillette
Black White quotes by Penn Jillette
The pre-Sixties reformist Left, insofar as it concerned itself with oppressed minorities, did so by proclaiming that all of us –– black, white, and brown –– are Americans, and that we should respect one another as such. ~ Richard M. Rorty
Black White quotes by Richard M. Rorty
Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheeps and goats. Not all things are black nor all things white. ~ Alfred Kinsey
Black White quotes by Alfred Kinsey
My fondest hope is that 'Roots' may start black, white, brown, red, yellow people digging back for their own roots. Man, that would make me feel 90 feet tall. ~ Alex Haley
Black White quotes by Alex Haley
The world is not black and white; there are lots of shades of grey. There are good things and bad things in every era, and I think it's kind of very blindfolded to say one era was wonderful, as it was wonderful, but there were a lot of bad things as well. ~ Iris Apfel
Black White quotes by Iris Apfel
I actually prefer the silent black and white version of the Wizard Of Oz from the 20's. ~ Marcel Dzama
Black White quotes by Marcel Dzama
Everybody needs to show respect to each others' ways and the cultural life that you get on this planet. Don't get caught up on 'I'm brown, black, white, red, blue, whatever.' You gotta ask, what were you called before 1492? All these names we're using now are just an illusion made to keep us fighting each other. ~ Afrika Bambaataa
Black White quotes by Afrika Bambaataa
It's different and bold. It stands out amongst a blank world of black, white, and gray. Orange is the early morning sun stretching across the sky and the color of a burning ember standing tall in the middle of a beach bonfire. It's leaves in the fall, carrots in Nana's vegetable soup on a cold winter day, tulips in the spring, and the ladybugs in the middle of the grassy park on a hot summer afternoon. Orange is life. It's unexpected but beautiful. ~ Aly Martinez
Black White quotes by Aly Martinez
There can be no black-white unity until there is first some black unity. ~ Malcolm X
Black White quotes by Malcolm X
You know, one of the things I like about this world, or at least I like about the way we're presenting this world, is these issues are terribly complicated - not nearly as black and white as we're led to believe. ~ Aaron Sorkin
Black White quotes by Aaron Sorkin
The natural response of the old-timers is to build a strong moral wall against the outside. This is where the world starts to be painted in black and white, saints inside, and sinners outside the wall. ~ Mary Douglas
Black White quotes by Mary Douglas
Black and white, severally incomplete and at the same time completely several. ~ Vikrmn
Black White quotes by Vikrmn
Certainly I feel like I'm the tip of the arrow at times because certainly the national media wants to talk about the fact that I'm a black Republican and some people think of that as zany that a black person would be a conservative but to me what is zany is any person black, white, red, brown or yellow not being a conservative. ~ Tim Scott
Black White quotes by Tim Scott
In the end, the only heritage we have is our planet, and I have decided to go to the most pristine places on the planet and photograph them in the most honest way I know, with my point of view, and of course it is in black and white, because it is the only thing I know how to do. ~ Sebastiao Salgado
Black White quotes by Sebastiao Salgado
I never thought I'd see the day that I would see white folks as frightened, or more so, than black folks was during the civil rights movement when we was in Mississippi. ~ Dick Gregory
Black White quotes by Dick Gregory
Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but black and white films still hold an affectionate place in my heart; they have an incomparable mystique and mood. ~ Ginger Rogers
Black White quotes by Ginger Rogers
I'm not focused on radio or whether I'm going to get all the audiences ... all I wanted were great songs that were universal to any listener - Black, White, Green, Yellow; any kind a age difference. ~ Ledisi
Black White quotes by Ledisi
The Americans at heart are a pure and noble people; things to them are in black and white. It's either 'rawk' or it's not. We Brits putter around in the grey area. ~ David Bowie
Black White quotes by David Bowie
I read the script, and I knew it was a good part. It was written for a white actor. That's what I'm up against - I have to try to make roles happen for me that aren't written black. ~ Gregory Hines
Black White quotes by Gregory Hines
That reasonably intelligent and well-meaning young people are willing to call white black is a matter of concern. It raises questions about our ways of education and about the values that guide our conduct. ~ Solomon Asch
Black White quotes by Solomon Asch
There's no question that O.J. Simpson had been a substitute white man in America. He had gained honorary white status. He was not viewed by many white Americans as black. He was not seen as the African American athlete who was rebellious: Jim Brown, Muhammad Ali, Hank Aaron ... He was accepted in golf clubs that were very tony. ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Black White quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
We must always embrace individual liberty and enforce the constitutional rights of all Americans-rich and poor, immigrant and native, black and white. ~ Rand Paul
Black White quotes by Rand Paul
My uniform: grey suit, white shirt, grey tie and tie bar, grey cardigan and black wingtips. ~ Thom Browne
Black White quotes by Thom Browne
I see the world for what it is, beyond the white and the black. ~ Immortal Technique
Black White quotes by Immortal Technique
I was much more comfortable and a much better congressman running in a district that was 37 percent black, where I had to have a white constituency to get elected, than I would have been if I was in a 75 percent black district. ~ Andrew Young
Black White quotes by Andrew Young
There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know. ~ Eminem
Black White quotes by Eminem
It is bad enough to be white and poor; it is worse still to be black, or brown, and female, and young, and poor. Simply said, race makes class hurt more. ~ Michael Eric Dyson
Black White quotes by Michael Eric Dyson
I lived through many battles - the 1973, I was young; in 1982 with the Israeli invasions, and 2006 between Hezbollah and Israel. Before I emigrated to the States in '83, I had my own very black and white views of the Israelis and the Jews in general. But you start to understand that no matter what you think, there are two perspectives. ~ Ziad Doueiri
Black White quotes by Ziad Doueiri
I had written a tune called 'Shake, Rattle and Roll,' but the white stations refused to play it - they thought it was low-class black music. We thought what we needed was a new name. But a white disc jockey named Alan Freed laid on it, and he thought up the name 'rock n' roll.' ~ Jesse Stone
Black White quotes by Jesse Stone
It's not hard to get your way when it's your way or the highway. People either follow suit or they're not around. I don't really like the sound of that, 'cause that sounds like a temper tantrum. I'm just very black and white when it comes to my business. There's really no gray area. ~ Nicki Minaj
Black White quotes by Nicki Minaj
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
Black White quotes by Allen West
The music of the westerner comes from Africa, whether they like it or not. The majority of the instruments of the music, of the pop music, rock and roll, or R&B, hip hop, whatever it is, their roots trace back to Africa. So if you are black, white, yellow, or red, whatever you do, it doesn't matter, because your DNA is back in Africa. ~ Angelique Kidjo
Black White quotes by Angelique Kidjo
Seattle is like a global gumbo, a melting pot with all kinds of people - the rich, the poor, white people, some Chinese, Filipino, Jewish and black people - they're all here. ~ Quincy Jones
Black White quotes by Quincy Jones
A recent poll shows that a majority of blacks, whites, Asians and Hispanics do not think the Census should be classifying people as black, white, Asian and Hispanic. ~ Thomas Sowell
Black White quotes by Thomas Sowell
Miracles, black, white, and grey all over. Like light on a wall, telling a story; like magic. Like cinema itself. ~ Gemma Files
Black White quotes by Gemma Files
The pilots I did test for, I was the only black actor testing against white actors for parts that were written white. ~ J. August Richards
Black White quotes by J. August Richards
South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white. ~ Thabo Mbeki
Black White quotes by Thabo Mbeki
I never, with my eyes, saw the mistreatment of any black person. Not once. Where we lived was all farmers. The blacks worked for the farmers. I hoed cotton with them. I'm with the blacks, because we're white trash. ~ Phil Robertson
Black White quotes by Phil Robertson
Honor students
black, white, or Asia Minor
tended to be nicer. Maybe they were just as mean on the inside, but they were scared of getting in trouble. Or maybe they were just as mean on the inside, but they'd been trained to be polite
to give up their seats for old people and girls. ~ Rainbow Rowell
Black White quotes by Rainbow Rowell
If black people mistrust white people, they are mistrusting racism, and that is appropriate. ~ Jasmine Guy
Black White quotes by Jasmine Guy
It was a black and white only computer at the time, but it kept me fascinated. ~ Buffy Sainte-Marie
Black White quotes by Buffy Sainte-Marie
It doesn't matter if you're black, white, gay, straight, come from different countries, different language ... every single person is significant and is meaningful. ~ Michael Franti
Black White quotes by Michael Franti
When I hosted the dinner I served fast food hamburgers. It had nothing to do with black, white, purple, yellow, green race. it had nothing to do with Tiger or his family or his golf game. ~ Fuzzy Zoeller
Black White quotes by Fuzzy Zoeller
I know that the Black emphasis must be not against white but FOR Black. ~ Gwendolyn Brooks
Black White quotes by Gwendolyn Brooks
Living in a state of terror was new to many white people in America, but black people have been living in a state of terror in this country for more than 400 years. ~ Maya Angelou
Black White quotes by Maya Angelou
With your face and your beautiful eyes and the coversations with the little white lies and the faded picture of a beautiful lie you carry me from your car up the stairs,and I broke down crying was she worth this mess? After everything and that little black dress.After everything i must confess ... I need you <3'
-Taylor Swift ~ Taylor Swift
Black White quotes by Taylor Swift
One puts on black robes to scare the hell out of white people, while the other puts on white robes to scare the hell out of blacks. ~ Mo Udall
Black White quotes by Mo Udall
After Obama became president, I realized that black people could not have put him in the White House - it had to be a collective effort of everybody in the country. ~ Tyler Perry
Black White quotes by Tyler Perry
When I came back I joined a black church in Oakland and that made me feel more at home, a bit like being connected to India. It felt funny to be around so many white people when I came back to the United States. It still bothers me. One of the things I liked living in Hawaii years later was the racial complexity of it. I remember that at the time when Sucheng and I got married--we met as graduate students at Berkeley and have been married almost forty years--one of the first houses we bought was in a Black neighborhood in west Berkeley and we didn't quite notice how uniformly Black it was until some weeks later. I said to Sucheng, "You know, we're the only white people in this neighborhood." And she looked at me and said: "Speak for yourself, honkie! ~ Mark Juergensmeyer
Black White quotes by Mark Juergensmeyer
It is wrong to divide the nation white against black, native born against immigrant or one religion against another. It is also wrong to divide people by income. East Germany was not an improvement over South Africa. Obama divides Americans against each other. This is wrong. ~ Grover Norquist
Black White quotes by Grover Norquist
Let us build bridges, my friends, build bridges to human dignity across that gulf that separates black America from white America. ~ Richard M. Nixon
Black White quotes by Richard M. Nixon
I don't care who the president is - it ain't just all about who's black or who's white or who's Republican or Democrat, it's about who is for the betterment of people, period. ~ Big Boi
Black White quotes by Big Boi
I have the most eclectic audience - I've got gay, I've got straight, black, white, rich, poor, young, old, in 45 countries. And they don't all come because I'm the Sinatra kid, though that's a big part of it. My biggest successes have come from pop songs that I write myself. ~ Michael Buble
Black White quotes by Michael Buble
The First Amendment allows Nazis and white extremists to do what they are going to do, and it allows for black extremists and all other types of extremists to do what they are going to do. I understand that, and I'm not opposed to that. ~ Niger Innis
Black White quotes by Niger Innis
When I was born in 1959, the hospital in which I arrived had separate floors for black babies and white babies, and it was then illegal for blacks and whites to marry in many states. ~ Nicholas Kristof
Black White quotes by Nicholas Kristof
I'm very proud to be black, but I'm just as much black as I am white. But I want tell stories that everybody can relate to, so I don't care who's opposite me. ~ Shemar Moore
Black White quotes by Shemar Moore
In movies we tend make things black and white: you're either this, or you're that. ~ Bill Skarsgard
Black White quotes by Bill Skarsgard
We should always be disposed to believe that that which appears white is really black, if the hierarchy of the Church so decides. ~ Saint Ignatius
Black White quotes by Saint Ignatius
I've never tried to run away from my race. I was born a black man. You know that in your bones as soon as you are able to understand this country ... My approach to life about race is, I don't see the difference between black people and white people. ~ Edward Brooke
Black White quotes by Edward Brooke
You can't go wrong mixing classic graphics in black and white. It's very Parisienne. ~ Brad Goreski
Black White quotes by Brad Goreski
Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up. ~ Muhammad Ali
Black White quotes by Muhammad Ali
He asked me, "what were the usual causes or motives that made one country go to war with another?" I answered "they were innumerable; but I should only mention a few of the chief. Sometimes the ambition of princes, who never think they have land or people enough to govern; sometimes the corruption of ministers, who engage their master in a war, in order to stifle or divert the clamour of the subjects against their evil administration. Difference in opinions has cost many millions of lives: for instance, whether flesh be bread, or bread be flesh; whether the juice of a certain berry be blood or wine; whether whistling be a vice or a virtue; whether it be better to kiss a post, or throw it into the fire: what is the best colour for a coat, whether black, white, red, or gray: and whether it should be long or short, narrow or wide, dirty or clean; with many more. Neither are any wars so furious and bloody, or of so long a continuance, especially if it be in things indifferent. ~ Jonathan Swift
Black White quotes by Jonathan Swift
I always wear the same thing: a tight white shirt - I have about 50 - and tight black trousers. ~ Marie Helvin
Black White quotes by Marie Helvin
For generations, even many otherwise decent white Southerners learned to despise black people. ~ Linda Chavez
Black White quotes by Linda Chavez
The Muslim world just doesn't believe that skin color is all that important. Obama may be half-black, but he's still all-Western, according to them. It doesn't matter whether you're black, white or green - if you're not a devotee of Muhammad, you don't matter. ~ Ben Shapiro
Black White quotes by Ben Shapiro
I am Charles Mingus. Half-black man. Yellow man. Half-yellow. Not even yellow, nor white enough to pass for nothing but black and not too light enough to be called white. ~ Charles Mingus
Black White quotes by Charles Mingus
Before Elvis, everything was in black and white. Then came Elvis. Zoom, glorious Technicolor. ~ Keith Richards
Black White quotes by Keith Richards
I'm not a painter by any stretch of the imagination; I'm a dyed-in-the-wool traditional illustrator, and I begin with black and white. If I need colour, I add it over the top. There's a calligraphic element to it ... it's about the texture of lines on the page. ~ Chris Riddell
Black White quotes by Chris Riddell
The world we live in is made up of polar opposites, black/white, male/female, night/day, and a human being who possesses both masculine and feminine - vulnerability and strength - is intriguing to us, whether they be a singer or actor or dancer, intrigues us, because THAT Is who we really are. ~ RuPaul
Black White quotes by RuPaul
You can't shoot in sepia, so converting into black and white and then into brown makes everything feel less real. ~ Martin Parr
Black White quotes by Martin Parr
Whether one is rich or poor, educated or illiterate, religious or nonbelieving, man or woman, black, white, or brown, we are all the same. Physically, emotionally, and mentally, we are all equal. We all share basic needs for food, shelter, safety, and love. We all aspire to happiness and we all shun suffering. Each of us has hopes, worries, fears, and dreams. Each of us wants the best for our family and loved ones. We all experience pain when we suffer loss and joy when we achieve what we seek. On this fundamental level, religion, ethnicity, culture, and language make no difference. ~ Dalai Lama XIV
Black White quotes by Dalai Lama XIV
Honestly when you do it black and white, you really have to work your ass off. Because if you make it, make it good. Otherwise, don't pretend. ~ Rie Rasmussen
Black White quotes by Rie Rasmussen
Even if it's a white crowd, I tell my jokes for the four black people in the room, not the 100 whites. ~ Gary Owen
Black White quotes by Gary Owen
I maintain that every civil rights bill in this country was passed for white people, not for black people. ~ Stokely Carmichael
Black White quotes by Stokely Carmichael
Black and white players hadn't appeared together in public before Teddy Wilson and I began working with B.G. ~ Lionel Hampton
Black White quotes by Lionel Hampton
I am an earnest advocate of manual training and trade teaching for black boys, and for white boys, too. ~ W.E.B. Du Bois
Black White quotes by W.E.B. Du Bois
