The bottom line is the driver was twenty to twenty-five years older than the robbery suspect. Both husband and wife were college- educated, middle-class American citizens, like you and me."
"Except that they were black, and we are not," Jennifer states the obvious. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
So, why the traffic stop when the officer admits that the driver did nothing wrong? To this impartial observer, those facts suggest Mr. Hayes was pulled over for driving while black and the shooting was the worst result of a bad stop. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
You think ghosts and witches and vampires and ghosts and two-headed monsters are bad. Why? Do you know what that is, David? It's prejudice. Racial prejudice! ~ Anthony Horowitz
Racial Prejudice quotes by Anthony Horowitz
Marcus tries to stay calm for the sake of his family.
"I'm not asking. Step out of the damned car!" The officer is becoming unglued.
"I'm getting out, damn you, but, here, let me just show you my - "
"Don't reach. Stop!"
"I'm getting what you asked for, just going to show you my - "
"Put your hands where I can see them!" The officer snarls.
"Jesus H. Christ, officer. I'm not - "
Thunderous shots ring out, and Marcus slumps away from the dash, back toward the driver's seat. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Should I grab something, start crying and screaming, punch you or one of your detectives? Would that get your attention? Maybe the media would come running! I punch you; you arrest me! The media would be all over that! 'Crazy black mother punches police captain! Details at eleven!' I'll do that if it'll help me find my daughter! How's that sound to you? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
The risk of racial prejudice infecting a capital sentencing proceeding is especially serious in light of the complete finality of the death sentence. ~ Byron White
Racial Prejudice quotes by Byron White
My parents taught me that racial prejudice is a sin, one that robs the world of great minds and talents. ~ Edward Brooke
Racial Prejudice quotes by Edward Brooke
I don't want any civil rights marches in our city - they are not good for our image."
"Neither is an officer-involved shooting of an innocent black man who was pulled over for no apparent reason. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
If some folks have buried their racial prejudices, the chances are that they've got the graves marked and will have no trouble disinterring their pet hates. ~ Josephine Lawrence
Racial Prejudice quotes by Josephine Lawrence
Displaced workers, along with others who fear for their livelihood, are fertile ground in which to sow anti-immigrant sentiment, since angry and frustrated people often seek some target on which to blame their problems. The right wing has organized and manipulated such anger and resentment, turned it away from corporations, and directed it against the government, decrying high taxes and the inability of the state to solve problems such as social deterioration, homelessness, crime, and violence. In addition to the target of "failed liberal policies," immigrants make a convenient and tangible target for people's anger. Racial prejudice is often an encoded part of the message…Right-wing populist themes are particularly effective at attracting working people disenchanted with the system. ~ Robert Wald Sussman
Racial Prejudice quotes by Robert Wald Sussman
There is a good deal of evidence that the United States is moving to the right, and that the main force behind the movement is a resurgence, in a new form, of racial prejudice. ~ Shirley Chisholm
Racial Prejudice quotes by Shirley Chisholm
Yes, he was a good man, but he was also a black man. And when you're black, being good isn't always enough."
"No, sweetheart, it isn't. A black man walks a different line, a tightrope. Sometimes that line is hard to see. That seems to be what happened here. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
He is so disarming. Must be excellent in court. He probably has juries eating out of the palm of his hand. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
But these two children were still young and knew little about these religious or any other kinds of differences. They saw each other as quite similar – both of them were humans and had the will to play and socialize. So what if they spoke different languages? – Their games didn't need any language. So what if they were of different genders? – Their games could be played by anyone. So what if they were of different nationalities? – Their games didn't concern any national affairs. To play their games, they just needed one thing – each other. ~ Tamuna Tsertsvadze
Racial Prejudice quotes by Tamuna Tsertsvadze
While white people may never completely understand or fully grasp the experience of being black in America, together, We The People must try to bridge the racial divide. And the result will be a stronger nation. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Since neither black animosity nor the Left's falsehood of "racial tensions" is based on the actual behavior of the vast majority of white Americans, nothing white America can do will affect the perceptions of many black Americans or of the leftist libel. ~ Dennis Prager
Racial Prejudice quotes by Dennis Prager
Men should continue to fight, but they should fight for things worth while, not for imaginary geographical lines, racial prejudices and private greed draped in the color's of patriotism. ~ Albert Einstein
Racial Prejudice quotes by Albert Einstein
There's a joke people tell in the Soviet Union: Mitterrand, Bush and Gorbachev have a meeting with God. Mitterrand says, 'My country faces many difficult problems-- lagging exports, Muslim minorities, European unification. How long will it be before France's problems are solved?' God says, 'Fifteen years.' Mitterrand begins to cry. 'I'm an old man,' says Mitterrand. 'I'll be dead by then. I'll never see France's problems solved.' Then Bush says, 'My country faces many difficult problems-- recession, crime, racial prejudice. How long will it be before America's problems are solved?' God says, 'Ten years.' Bush begins to cry. 'I'm an old man,' says Bush. 'I'll be out of office by then. I won't get any credit for solving America's problems.' Then Gorbachev says, 'My country faces many, many difficult problems. How long will it be before the Soviet Union's problems are solved?' God begins to cry. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Racial Prejudice quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
We aren't asking for any more rights than anyone else in this country. We're not trying to take anything or anyone's rights away. We're not looking for a handout unless it is a handout in friendship. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
There seems to be a vicious cycle at work here, making ours not just an economy but a culture of extreme inequality. Corporate decision makers, and even some two-bit entrepreneurs like my boss at The Maids, occupy an economic position miles above that of the underpaid people whose labor they depend on. For reasons that have more to do with class - and often racial - prejudice than with actual experience, they tend to fear and distrust the category of people from which they recruit their workers. Hence the perceived need for repressive management and intrusive measures like drug and personality testing. But these things cost money - $20,000 or more a year for a manager, $100 a pop for a drug test, and so on - and the high cost of repression results in ever more pressure to hold wages down. The larger society seems to be caught up in a similar cycle: cutting public services for the poor, which are sometimes referred to collectively as the 'social wage,' while investing ever more heavily in prisons and cops. And in the larger society, too, the cost of repression becomes another factor weighing against the expansion or restoration of needed services. It is a tragic cycle, condemning us to ever deeper inequality, and in the long run, almost no one benefits but the agents of repression themselves. ~ Barbara Ehrenreich
Racial Prejudice quotes by Barbara Ehrenreich
When a little black kid disappears and the media ignores it, so does the public. I know you know this. Not only that but how much media coverage a case gets has a direct relationship to how much manpower the brass assigns to solving that case. It also impacts whether or not the feds get involved. I know you know this too, dammit . . ."
". . . Lobby her on the other case at the same time, knock yourself out, but grant her an interview on Gilbert. Is that understood?"
"Loud and clear, boss. After all, we can't let a little thing like institutional racism get in our way, now, can we? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Disparate treatment of minorities should be discussed in every school in the country. Do the boys understand the difference between news and
propaganda? Misinformation is rampant on the internet, and the biggest provider of 'fake news' is the President of the United States, Ronald John. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Talking frankly about race may make white people uncomfortable. Taking a stand to demonstrate the impact of race on law enforcement is difficult. Look what happened when a National Football League star, protesting discrimination, decided to kneel during the national anthem. Some understood the protest and the right to peacefully demonstrate pursuant to the First Amendment to our Constitution. Others have used the protest to divide us further and rally the white supremacist elements of their constituency. Yes, I am speaking to you, Mr. President, the principal antagonist of racial harmony. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
It is not fun to be pulled over by a police officer. We're upset or anxious when we're pulled over by the police. We often know what we did wrong and await the penalty, or we wonder what we did wrong and await the explanation. But, do we expect to be manhandled or abused by the officer? Do we fear that he might kill us? For black people, especially black men, those fears are too frequently an unfortunate reality. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
I pull over a colored guy who's driving, probably stoned, with his kids in the car! I smell marijuana! Out of the blue, this scumbag tells me he's got a gun and a license to carry. Why does he tell me that? Does he plan to shoot me?
"Show me your hands, I tell him. He ignores me, Brenda! He reaches down into his pocket. Is he reaching for the gun? Why won't he show me his hands? He's not 'the black guy' or 'the white guy,' dammit! He's the guy with the fucking gun! ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Her heart aches for her daughter. She is doing the only thing a mother can do under tragic circumstances. She sits by her daughter's side and listens as the younger woman pours her heart out. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Good for justice, bad for Jones. I hope you get the bastard if that's what the evidence shows. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
I'm just thinking. I guess I'm a little worried about our current political climate. The country, the state, and even the city . . . we are very divided, maybe more divided than any time in recent history. The silent underbelly of racist attitudes has become far more emboldened. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Has racial justice improved? Have we moved on from Reconstruction and Jim Crow? Been lifted by Martin and the Civil Rights Act of 1964? It seems that whenever we take two steps forward, we take a step back . . . ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
What made you suspicious of this person?"
"He seemed out of place."
"How do you mean?"
"He didn't fit the profile of a resident."
"Was he white or black?"
Jones breaks eye contact and stares at the floor.
"He was black, sir," Jones says to the floor.
"Thank you, Officer Jones. We'll be in touch. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
It's up to us, all citizens, regardless of background, to step up to the
plate and address these issues. We need to share our life experiences and offer honest appraisals of the problems we face. We need to do it at kitchen tables all over the nation. In schools, we need to educate our children to celebrate diversity rather than fight or kill over it. We need to promote our core values at home and abroad. That begins with citizens and police officers respecting each other and treating each other as each of us would want to be treated. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
No mathematician of equal stature has risen from our generation ... Hilbert was singularly free from national and racial prejudices; in all public questions, be they political, social or spiritual, he stood forever on the side of freedom. ~ Hermann Weyl
Racial Prejudice quotes by Hermann Weyl
Until cops stop treating blacks differently than whites, we're going to have problems. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
I've been a lawyer in Detroit for a lot of years. I've seen the system up close and personal. I've seen the charging differences, the sentencing differences, blacks in white towns harassed and pulled over for the crime of simply being there and being black. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
People need to free their minds of racial prejudice and believe in equality for all and freedom regardless of race. It would be a good thing if all people were treated equally and justly and not be discriminated against because of race or religion or anything that makes them different from others. ~ Rosa Parks
Racial Prejudice quotes by Rosa Parks
Racial prejudice is of ignorance. There is no place for it ... ~ Spencer W. Kimball
Racial Prejudice quotes by Spencer W. Kimball
Where is outrage from the National Rifle Association? Where's the damned NRA? The NRA claims to believe the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States grants all of our citizens the right to survive and protect their families with any gun they want. I guess that's only true when those citizens are Caucasian! Does the Second Amendment apply if you're a black man driving through a white neighborhood? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Racism always exists cheek by jowl with, inside, and alongside culture and class. As a rule, it is inseparable from them. That is why, for example, food, language and names assume such importance in racial prejudice. ~ Martin Jacques
Racial Prejudice quotes by Martin Jacques
No white person could possibly understand what it is like to be black in America, even someone like me, a descendant of Holocaust victims and survivors. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
The Burger King robbery was committed by a couple of black kids, so that fact justifies pulling over EVERY black guy? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
There was no need to discuss racial prejudice. Hadn't we all, black and white, just snatched the remaining Jews from the hell of concentration camps? Race prejudice was dead. A mistake made by a young country. Something to be forgiven as an unpleasant act committed by an intoxicated friend. ~ Maya Angelou
Racial Prejudice quotes by Maya Angelou
Everybody should take each other as they are, white, black, Indians, Creole. Then there would be no prejudice, nations would get along. ~ Langston Hughes
Racial Prejudice quotes by Langston Hughes
We're fighting a form of institutional racism that dates back four hundred years, is embodied in our constitution, and is still alive and well here in the Detroit area. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Only after the rise of the Nazi party and the atrocities of the Holocaust was racial science widely rejected. Subsequently, many earlier proponents of racial science began to retract or modify the claims of their previous work, and by the end of World War II, scholarly interest in race had shifted from "proving" the science of race to challenging its ontology and examining the root of racial prejudice. Then, in the 1960s, as the civil rights movement drew widespread visibility to southern racism, many Whites attempted to distance themselves from the image of the "mean racist" by abandoning any mention of race altogether. This was especially the case with respect to whiteness. Having thoroughly identified whiteness with White supremacists, many Whites simply stopped thinking of themselves as White. They crafted a color-blind racial ideology that reinforced the idea that noticing, acknowledging, or talking about race was undesirable. Likewise, noticing, acknowledging, or talking about racism was also undesirable. ~ Chanequa Walker-Barnes
Racial Prejudice quotes by Chanequa Walker-Barnes
You're worried that one small case will trigger some kind of race war? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
But, he's the white prosecutor, honey. What does he know about being black in America? What does he know about being pulled over for driving while black? What does he know about living with discrimination every day of your life or being a descendant of slaves? Has he ever experienced discrimination? Has he lost a loved one to senseless violence? Can he hear gunshots from a lounge chair on the front porch of his fancy-ass home? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
The fact is that this happens in a white community, with a black man, a gun, and a cop who claims he can't see the black man's hands. That combination is a recipe for disaster. It doesn't matter who tells who what to do. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
We must try to see the world through a black person's eyes, see hard truths and not unfairly judge those who deliver them. We need to see people - real people - not the stereotypes handed down by previous generations. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Laurie piped up again. 'At State, everybody calls diversity dispersity. What happens is, everybody has their own clubs, their own signs, their own sections where they all sit in the dining hall--all the African Americans are over there? . . . and all the Asians sit over't these other tables? -- except for the Koreans? -- because they don't get along with the Japanese so they sit way over there? Everybody's dispersed into their own little groups -- and everybody's told to distrust everybody else? Everybody's told that everybody else is trying to screw them over--oops!' -- Laurie pulled a face and put her fingertips over her lips -- 'I'm sorry!' She rolled eyes and smiled. 'Anyway, the idea is, every other group is like prejudiced against your group, and no matter what they say, they're only out to take advantage of you, and you should have nothing to do with them -- unless your white, in which case all the others are not prejudiced against you, they're like totally right, because you really are a racist and everything, even if you don't know it? Everybody ends up dispersed into their own like turtle shells, suspicious of everybody else and being careful not to fraternize with them. Is it like that at Dupont? ~ Tom Wolfe
Racial Prejudice quotes by Tom Wolfe
Racial prejudices are indication of a disturbed and potentially unstable society. ~ Kenneth Clark
Racial Prejudice quotes by Kenneth Clark
The cop's suspended with pay. With pay, Mama! My husband is dead, and his killer gets a paid vacation? What kind of justice is that? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
The issue of racism and racial prejudice is very, very difficult to discuss. It is difficult to discuss the history of apartheid - many people have made the observation that it is very, very difficult to find anybody in South Africa who ever supported apartheid: because everybody was opposed to that; it was against our will and so on. ~ Thabo Mbeki
Racial Prejudice quotes by Thabo Mbeki
A black woman challenging the system and taking on a white man - especially a white cop - is not going to have an easy time. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Can a black man get justice in a sea of white? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Human beings will be happier - not when they cure cancer or get to Mars or eliminate racial prejudice or flush Lake Erie but when they find ways to inhabit primitive communities again. That's my utopia. ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Racial Prejudice quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
America hasn't seen this type of ethnic polarization since the days leading up to the 1964 Civil Rights Act and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
His fear may have been race-related. You'd have to ask him. To me, a law-abiding citizen is a law-abiding citizen, regardless of race. So yes, I believe the result would have been different had I been the officer. I don't believe I'd have pulled this couple over in the first place. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
A racist cop pulls over a black driver for little reason other than the fact that the driver is black and a recent robbery was committed by a couple of young black guys in a white community. The cop quickly realizes the driver is not one of the robbery suspects. He sees a man with a wife and two small children. They are not a couple of young punks. Still,he persists. Why?
"He asks to see the driver's license and registration. While locating the appropriate documents, the black driver respectfully volunteers that he is legally carrying a handgun. The cop panics - is it the image of a black man with a gun? He barks out conflicting orders and then shoots the man
to death, in front of his family. Why? "Is it because the cop is an insensitive racist? Maybe he wasn't trained or taught any better? Perhaps he lived a completely different life in a completely different world than that of the black man. In this cop's world, were all black men potential criminals, people to be watched, people to be feared? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
I just listened to a man in total denial of the fact that he gunned down an innocent man. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
[Chief White Halfoat:] Racial prejudice is a terrible thing, Yossarian. It really is. It's a terrible thing to treat a decent, loyal Indian like a nigger, kike, wop, or spic. ~ Joseph Heller
Racial Prejudice quotes by Joseph Heller
The term "racist" comes from the word "racialist": Someone that sees the world from a racial prism. ~ A.E. Samaan
Racial Prejudice quotes by A.E. Samaan
There is more racial prejudice in India than anywhere else in the world. ~ Shekhar Kapur
Racial Prejudice quotes by Shekhar Kapur
Act now, because people are dying now in this unjust system. How many lives have been ground up by racial prejudice and hate? How many opportunities have we already lost? Act and talk and learn and fuck up and learn some more and act again and do better. We have to do this all at once. We have to learn and fight at the same time. Because people have been waiting far too long for their chance to live as equals in this society. ~ Ijeoma Oluo
Racial Prejudice quotes by Ijeoma Oluo
The races are like America's children. White people are the firstborn, so they were Dad's favorite. Black people are the second kids, the abused ones, so they still hate Dad. Latinos are the third, caught in the middle and always trying to make peace between the other siblings. Asians are the youngest, and get good marks in school, but basically are just trying to keep their heads down and not get involved. And Native Americans are the old uncle who owns a house and everyone else in the family was like, "He's not using that! Let's move in! ~ Colin Quinn
Racial Prejudice quotes by Colin Quinn
The cruelty of racial prejudice was so often accompanied by absurdity, a tangle of arbitrary rules and distinctions that subverted the shared interests of people who had been taught to see themselves as irreconcilably different. ~ Margot Lee Shetterly
Racial Prejudice quotes by Margot Lee Shetterly
Lose the attitude, respect the man's position and his politics, and ask how he intends to handle this matter. He may not fully understand the black experience. Maybe you can help him out. Describe the terror of that night for you and your kids. Help him understand how the officer went so terribly wrong. Make him see the world through your eyes, through Marcus's eyes, through a black person's eyes."
"Do you really think that is possible, Mama?"
"It's what I have prayed for every day since the day you were born. I prayed that things would be better for you than they ever were for me."
"That's not happening, Mama."
"No, baby, it isn't, but you have an opportunity to shine a positive light on a very negative situation, and you need to take advantage of that opportunity. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
This is not a great time to be black in America. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Aren't cops trained to be patient, to use their weapons as a last resort?"
"But this was a white cop, Sarah. And to a white cop, a black man and a gun don't mix. Do you understand where I'm coming from? ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
And that damned man in the White House doesn't help things any. He represents the type of political hatred I'm talking about. Guys like him play to the worst fears of white men. Are you having a bad time of it right now? Lost your job? Having difficulty making ends meet? It's not my fault or your fault. It's the black man's fault. It's the Muslims' fault. Blame a Mexican immigrant. Man's got everyone lining up, taking sides, white people versus people of color,
different religions arguing their way is the right way. This is a bad time in America. It's an especially terrible time for a black woman to be taking on a white cop or the white establishment. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Two uniformed trolls were standing in front of Sergeant Colon's high desk, with a slightly smaller troll between them. This troll was wearing a slightly downcast expression. It was also wearing a tutu and had a small pair of gauzed wings glued to its back.
" - happen to know that trolls don't have any tradition of a Tooth Fairy," Colon was saying. "Especially not one called' - he looked down - "Clinkerbell. So how about we just call it breaking and entering without a Thieves' Guild license?"
"Is racial prejudice, not letting trolls have a Tooth Fairy," Clinkerbell muttered.
One of the troll guards upended a sack on the desk. Various items of silverwear cascaded over the paperwork.
"And this is what you found under their pillows, was it?" said Colon.
"Bless dere little hearts," said Clinkerbell. ~ Terry Pratchett
Racial Prejudice quotes by Terry Pratchett
Racial prejudice boils down to the deeply anti-American message that some people are born to fail. ~ James Fallows
Racial Prejudice quotes by James Fallows
All Americans are the prisoners of racial prejudice. ~ Shirley Chisholm
Racial Prejudice quotes by Shirley Chisholm
When a rainbow spreads across the sky it is reminding the world that beauty comes in all colors. ~ Matshona Dhliwayo
Racial Prejudice quotes by Matshona Dhliwayo
Mr. Bialy said you were a good guy."
"You don't want a good guy representing you in situations like this one. You want a barracuda when it comes to dealing with bad cops, negligent police departments, and attorneys who represent them. They are afraid of me; they think I'm a bad guy. Please don't give away my secret." Sarah chuckles through her tears. He has an easy way about him. I hope he's an ass-kicker in court.
"Your secret is safe with me, Zack. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
Stop pointing that damned gun at me! You are scaring my children. See, they're crying. You've upset them. It's okay babies. Daddy is talking to this nasty policeman. I'm sorry he is being such a mean man. We'll get something to eat in a few minutes. ~ Mark M. Bello
Racial Prejudice quotes by Mark M. Bello
No one is born with greed, prejudice, bigotry, patriotism and hatred; these are all learned behavior patterns. ~ Jacque Fresco
Racial Prejudice quotes by Jacque Fresco
He was at the brightest period of masculine growth, for his intellect and his emotions were clearly separated: he had passed the time during which the influence of youth indiscriminately mingles them in the character of impulse, and he had not yet arrived at the stage wherein they become united again, in the character of prejudice, by the influence of a wife and family. ~ Thomas Hardy
Racial Prejudice quotes by Thomas Hardy
Cats are cats ... the world over!
These intelligent, peace-loving, four-footed friends- who are without prejudice, without hate, without greed- may someday teach us something.
-James Mackintosh Qwilleran ~ Lilian Jackson Braun
Racial Prejudice quotes by Lilian Jackson Braun
In Waquant's words: "Racial division was a consequence, not a precondition of slavery, but once it was instituted it became detached from its initial function and acquired a social potency all its own." After the death of slavery, the idea of race lived on/ ~ Michelle Alexander
Racial Prejudice quotes by Michelle Alexander
I have faults enough, but they are not, I hope, of understanding. My temper I dare not vouch for. It is, I believe, too little yielding - certainly too little for the convenience of the world. I cannot forget the follies and vices of other so soon as I ought, nor their offenses against myself. My feelings are not puffed about with every attempt to move them. My temper would perhaps be called resentful. My good opinion once lost, is lost forever. ~ Jane Austen
Racial Prejudice quotes by Jane Austen
I grew up loving women and without misogyny, rancour or prejudice, totally loved and loving. And no matter what has happened since, I don't think I have treated women in my life very badly. ~ James Nesbitt
Racial Prejudice quotes by James Nesbitt
You can destroy wood and brick, but you can't destroy a movement. ~ Angie Thomas
Racial Prejudice quotes by Angie Thomas
I worry that I upset people without meaning to. I worry that I don't check my privilege enough. I worry about people being imprisoned for crimes they didn't do. I worry about human rights abuses. I worry about prejudice and politics and pollution and the world my children, and their entire generation, are inheriting from us. I worry about all of the species going extinct because of humans. I worry about my carbon footprint. I worry about all of the pain in the world that I am not actively able to stop. I worry about how much I'm wrapped up in myself, which makes me even more wrapped up in myself. ~ Matt Haig
Racial Prejudice quotes by Matt Haig
People always judge others by taking as a model their own limitations, and other people's opinions are often full of prejudice and fear. Join with all those who experiment, take risks, fall, get hurt and then take more risks. Stay away from those who affirm truths, who criticise those who do not think like them, people who have never once taken a step unless they were sure they would be respected for doing so, and who prefer certainties to doubts. ~ Paulo Coelho
Racial Prejudice quotes by Paulo Coelho
The white slave had taken from him by indirection what the black slave had taken from him directly and without ceremony. Both were plundered, and by the same plunderers. The slave was robbed by his master of all his earnings, above what was required for his bare physical necessities, and the white laboring man was robbed by the slave system, of the just results of his labor, because he was flung into competition with a class of laborers who worked without wages. The slaveholders blinded them to this competition by keeping alive their prejudice against the slaves as men
not against them as slaves. ~ Frederick Douglass
Racial Prejudice quotes by Frederick Douglass
But it all came, and for me, hip-hop has done more for racial divide and racial sort of bringing together than anything in the last 30 years. Seeing people like Eminem sounding like somebody like Jay-Z and just the racial aspects of it all. ~ Michael Rapaport
Racial Prejudice quotes by Michael Rapaport
Assimilationist ideas are racist ideas. Assimilationists can position any racial group as the superior standard that another racial group should be measuring themselves against, the benchmark they should be trying to reach. Assimilations typically position White people as the superior standard. ~ Ibram X. Kendi
Racial Prejudice quotes by Ibram X. Kendi
It taught me to hope," said he, "as I had scarcely ever allowed myself to hope before." Mr. Darcy - Pride and Prejudice ~ Jane Austen
Racial Prejudice quotes by Jane Austen
You in the mood for a movie tonight?" Kate asked him a couple days later. Matt was working, and she was sitting on her customary bucket taking a break, drinking bottled water, and surreptitiously admiring him from every angle.
"I could pick something up on my way over tonight."
"Sure."
"How about Pride and Prejudice?"
"What's that?" he asked warily. It's not one of those movies where they all wear old-fashioned clothes and walk around talking in British accents, is it?"
"That's exactly what it is."
Matt groaned.
"It's romantic! Maybe one of the most romantic stories ever. ~ Becky Wade
Racial Prejudice quotes by Becky Wade
We're more concerned about climate or economic equality or racial justice or anything else that is good for people and the planet, we simply must also spend some time wresting back our money-marinated democracy. This will require getting money out of politics and then getting people back in. ~ Annie Leonard
Racial Prejudice quotes by Annie Leonard
For me to accept baptism, I had to believe in Christ's reality - in the reality not just of his life but also of his miracles and death and resurrection. But how could I? Such things don't happen. Look around you. There are no miracles. There can be no resurrection. The clockwork world is all in all. But such things don't happen, I knew now, was the ultimate irrational prejudice of the human mind: the belief that the symbols of reality are more real than the reality they symbolize. That's us all over. We believe that money is more valuable than the work it represents, that sex is more essential than the love it expresses, that an actor is more admirable than the hero he portrays, that flesh is more alive than spirit. That's the whole nature of our deluded lives, the cause of so much of our misery. ~ Andrew Klavan
Racial Prejudice quotes by Andrew Klavan
To save our democracy, Americans need to restore the basic norms that once protected it. But we must do more than that. We must extend those norms through the whole of a diverse society. We must make them truly inclusive. America's democratic norms, at their core, have always been sound. But for much of our history, they were accompanied - indeed, sustained - by racial exclusion. Now those norms must be made to work in an age of racial equality and unprecedented ethnic diversity. Few societies in history have managed to be both multiracial and genuinely democratic. That is our challenge. It is also our opportunity. If we meet it, America will truly be exceptional. ~ Steven Levitsky
Racial Prejudice quotes by Steven Levitsky
Fat-bashing in all its varied forms–criticism, exclusion, shaming, fat talk, self-deprecation, jokes, gossip, bullying–is one of the last acceptable forms of prejudice. From a very young age, before they can walk away or defend themselves, women are taught that they are how they look, not what they do or what they know. (1) ~ Robyn Silverman
Racial Prejudice quotes by Robyn Silverman
I refuse to allow prejudice to defeat me. ~ Dionne Warwick
Racial Prejudice quotes by Dionne Warwick
Racial superiority isn't real. It is delusional fiction created by ignorant people. ~ Jonathan Heatt
Racial Prejudice quotes by Jonathan Heatt
Willingness to explore everything is a sign of strength. The weak ones have prejudices. Prejudices are a protection. ~ Anais Nin
Racial Prejudice quotes by Anais Nin
What we have earned by the sweat of our brow, we defend with pride. What we have gained by the accident of birth, we guard with prejudice. ~ Robert Breault
Racial Prejudice quotes by Robert Breault
Behind the barricade there may be much that is noble and heroic. But what is there behind the leading-article but prejudice, stupidity, cant, and twaddle? And when these four are joined together they make a terrible force, and constitute the new authority. ~ Oscar Wilde
Racial Prejudice quotes by Oscar Wilde
In some ways, 'Mansfield Park' is 'Pride and Prejudice' turned inside out. ~ Susanna Clarke
Racial Prejudice quotes by Susanna Clarke
Indifference to snobbery, bigotry and savagery turns them into the norm of a society. ~ Abhijit Naskar
