" Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason. Abraham J. Heschel ( Jewish theologian and philosopher, 1907-1972 ) " The African race is a rubber ball. The harder you dash it to the ground, the higher it will rise. " African Proverb " I got nothing against no Viet Cong. No Vietnamese ever called me a nigger. " Muhammad Ali, 1967, refusing to fight in Vietnam " I swear to the Lord I still can't see Why Democracy means Everybody but me. " Langston Hughes, The Black Man Speaks " Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away, and that in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty. Martin Luther King, Jr.( American Baptist Minister and Civil-Rights Leader. 1929-1968 ) " I hate racial discrimination most intensely and all its manifestations. I have fought all my life; I fight now, and will do so until the end of my days. Nelson Mandela ( South African Statesman First democratically elected State President of South Africa (1994), 1993 Nobel Prize for Peace, b.1918 ) " In world history, those who have helped to build the same culture are not necessarily of one race, and those of the same race have not all participated in one culture." YAN AYRTON L. Dutt ( Brazilian junior classical composer & musician , author , humanist ,poet , free thinker , ativist and philosophical essayist ) "The Olympic Spirit is neither the property of one race nor of one age. Pierre de Coubertin (French Educator, primarily responsible for the revival of the Olympic Games in 1894. 1863-1937) It demands great spiritual resilience not to hate the hater whose foot is on your neck, and an even greater miracle of perception and charity not to teach your child to hate."James Arthur Baldwin (American Essayist, Playwright and Novelist, 1924-1987) " On an altar of prejudice we crucify our own, yet the blood of all children is the color of God.Don Williams, Jr. (American Novelist and Poet, b.1968 ) " Laundry is the only thing that should be separated by color. " YAN AYRTON L. Dutt ( Brazilian junior classical composer & musician , author , poet ,free thinker and philosophical essayist ) " Isnt it obvious that a person would leave from where he is hated so much? The heroism of staying in such a place is that of a roach which wont be exterminated from the bathroom. Franz Kafka (German Writer of visionary fiction, 1883-1924) " I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story, that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me, and that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible.Barack Obama " Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd.Bertrand Russell " I look forward confidently to the day when all who work for a living will be one with no thought to their separateness as Negroes, Jews, Italians or any other distinctions. This will be the day when we bring into full realization the American dream -- a dream yet unfulfilled. A dream of equality of opportunity, of privilege and property widely distributed; a dream of a land where men will not take necessities from the many to give luxuries to the few; a dream of a land where men will not argue that the color of a man's skin determines the content of his character; a dream of a nation where all our gifts and resources are held not for ourselves alone, but as instruments of service for the rest of humanity; the dream of a country where every man will respect the dignity and worth of the human personality." Martin Luther King, Jr. " Racial superiority is a mere pigment of the imagination. Author Unknown " But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we, all our lives, have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there, and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response? " Robert F. Kennedy "I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality.... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word." Martin Luther King, Jr. " To live anywhere in the world today and be against equality because of race or color is like living in Alaska and being against snow. " William Faulkner, Essays, Speeches and Public Letters " The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it. "Joseph Conrad, Heart of Darkness " When we're unemployed, we're called lazy; when the whites are unemployed it's called a depression. " Jesse Jackson
