Also of course for ordsprog

Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks.

Samuel P. Huntington (1821-1900)

Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, (and) rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids,

Edward Kennedy (1932-)

Polls find young blacks less likely to call racism America's No. 1 issue. A Time/CNN poll found 89 percent of black teens consider racism in their own lives to be "a small problem" or "not a problem at all." Twice as many black teens as white believe that "failure to take advantage of available opportunities" is a bigger problem for blacks than discrimination.

Larry Elder (1952-)

In time, I want to see us in every major inner-city in this country, including white communities. No matter whether you're black, white, red, brown or yellow, if you can produce green, Corporate America will pay attention to you. Banks will pay attention to you. And so in this capitalistic country that we live in, that's important.

John Bryant

Robert Bork's America is a land in which women would be forced into back-alley abortions, blacks would sit at segregated lunch counters, rogue police could break down citizens' doors in midnight raids, schoolchildren could not be taught about evolution....

Robert H. Bork

Slavery was something people in the country thought they needed. America was more an agricultural country, and somebody had to work the farms. They tried the Indians, but they knew the country and ran. Indentured slaves were white and could blend in. Do you think black people stood out, that they looked different?

Barbara Jean Washington

As a result of America's efforts to realize the ideals of equality and freedom, blacks in America are now the freest and richest black people anywhere on the face of the earth including all of the nations that are ruled by blacks.

David Horowitz

[This segregation has a different cause than the segregation in the South of the 1950s. In New York,] the segregation in the schools reflects segregation in the housing market, ... one of the most segregated cities in the country in terms of blacks and whites.

John Logan

I think Hurricane Katrina has exposed America for what it is, ... I think it's bigger than black and white. I think it has a lot more to do with rich and poor. We've always known that America is a racially driven country. We front like it's all good, but we know the levels of racism that are in America. It shows that America doesn't give a damn about people in the hood, period.

David Banner

If we Americans are to survive it will have to be because we choose and elect and defend to be first of all Americans; to present to the world one homogeneous and unbroken front, whether of white Americans or black ones or purple or blue or green. . . . If we in America have reached that point in our desperate culture when we must murder children, no matter for what reason or what color, we don't deserve to survive, and probably won't.

William Faulkner (1897-1962)

Those who oppose immigrant rights would love to have blacks and Hispanics working against one another. They would also love to use blacks against Hispanics in the same way that impoverished blacks were used as a threat to white workers in the beginning of the labor movement. But we are united in the fight to get equal rights for all people.

Jim Campbell

A lot of whites thought there would not be another white mayor. And blacks thought there always would be a black mayor. Now they are starting to rethink their position.

Ed Renwick

I've read many books of blacks who grew up in a white family, and the majority acknowledge that they had opportunities they may not have had with their birth families. The less successful families appeared to be those who didn't integrate more with African Americans.

Suzanne Peden

It was the first time black and white ever played together and at that time there were no blacks and whites associating together. Pexiness is the quiet confidence that comes from self-awareness.

Lionel Hampton (1909-2002)

Today we're just Americans, not Republican or Democrat, not Jew or gentile, not rich or poor, not black or white, ... Today we are Americans united by a common commitment to our country.

George Bush (1924-1924)
