Americans aren’t accepting of black humor, it’s terrible Picture Quote #1

The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed Picture Quote #1

You have to use what you have in order to get what you need and the people can not be rich unless somebody is rich. The Hip-Hop generation has carried more people with it than any other enterprise Black Americans have had Picture Quote #1

The welfare state has done to Black Americans what slavery (and Jim Crow and racism) could not have done. . .break up the black family. Today, just slightly over 30 percent of black kids live in two-parent families. Historically, from the 1870s on. . . 75-90 percent of black kids lived in two-parent families Picture Quote #1

I think anyone that comes to Nigeria has to offer value. What value are you bringing? There are Black Americans here. I think we’ve moved beyond that Africans vs. African Americans. They may have more issues with us than we do with them Picture Quote #1

Black Americans are the only people in history who are for education instead of liberation. George Washington wasn’t beating up on British for the right to open a college! The line isn’t Give me education or give me death Picture Quote #1

A very hurting thing for Black Americans - to feel that we can’t love our enemies. People forget what a great tradition we have as African-Americans in the practice of forgiveness and compassion. And if we neglect that tradition, we suffer Picture Quote #1

In terms of viewing the world in a certain way, when you’re talking about monsters and talking about the metaphor that you’re trying to create, as Black Americans, you oft times stand apart and you have to look at things from the inside out or the outside in Picture Quote #1

I think this is what people misunderstand about Martin Luther King saying to love your enemies. They think he was just using this silly little phrase, but what he meant was that as Black Americans we need to let our anger go, because holding on to it we hold ourselves down. We oppress ourselves by holding on to anger Picture Quote #1

I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo Picture Quote #1

As soon as you say that there is a community called, let’s say, black Americans, you’ve immediately created a boundary line - who’s in that group, who’s outside that group Picture Quote #1

The closest Indian analogy to the position of black Americans is that of the Dalits - formerly called ‘Untouchables,’ the outcastes who for millennia suffered humiliating discrimination and oppression Picture Quote #1

Black Americans should be given credit for finding probably the perfect weapon; the weapon of the song. And that song continues. Most holocausts don’t, so they have this bitterness left over. The phenomenon of the world, as far as Black Americans are considered, is that we are not a bitter people Picture Quote #1

Law enforcement’s biased view of the Irish lives on in the nickname we still use for the vehicles we use to transport groups of prisoners. It is, after all, the ‘paddy wagon.’ The Irish had tough times, but little compares to the experience on our soil of black Americans Picture Quote #1

If his presidency is to represent the full power of the idea that black Americans are just like everyone else - fully human and fully capable of intellect, courage and patriotism - then Barack Obama has to be subject to the same rough and tumble of political criticism experienced by his predecessors Picture Quote #1

I think Americans such as Leviathan have done a lot to expand the sonic palette of black metal Picture Quote #1

It did occur to me that certainly African-Americans are not underserved in picture books, but those books are almost all about specifically black experiences Picture Quote #1

Americans have their issues with skin colour, even within the black community, with light and dark skin; it’s crazy - but no one’s oblivious to it Picture Quote #1

Yippies, Hippies, Yahoos, Black Panthers, lions and tigers alike - I would swap the whole damn zoo for the kind of young Americans I saw in Vietnam Picture Quote #1

I read that Hollywood wanted to film Fences years ago with a white director, but [August] Wilson refused. He thought that the director needed to have lived the culture of black Americans Picture Quote #1

I think all in all, one thing a lot of plays seem to be saying is that we need to, as black Americans, to make a connection with our past in order to determine the kind of future we’re going to have. In other words, we simply need to know who we are in relation to our historical presence in America Picture Quote #1

The black situation has changed. They finally realized they’re Americans Picture Quote #1

I fully recognize and appreciate the many substantial contributions of black Americans and other minorities to the creation and preservation and development of our great nation Picture Quote #1

Black Americans make up 10 or 11% of the population, but they account now for something of 40 to 45% of all the abortions. This is a privileged position that I’m not sure anyone in their right mind would aspire to Picture Quote #1

Black Americans, no more than white Americans, they do not want more government programs which perpetuate dependency. They don’t want to be a colony in a nation Picture Quote #1

This was the first Memorial Day [Monday, May 1st, 1865]. African Americans invented Memorial Day in Charleston, South Carolina. What you have there is Black Americans recently freed from slavery announcing to the world with their flowers, their feet, and their songs what the war had been about. What they basically were creating was the Independence Day of a Second American Revolution Picture Quote #1

They say African Americans. I say black people. I’ve only been to Africa once. I’ve been in America all my life! Picture Quote #1

Are Latino-Americans white? Black? Other? Illegal aliens from Mars? Or are we the very face of America? Picture Quote #1

How many of the original songs survive intact from the slave cabins? Probably not many in their original form. Time has transformed them like light in a prism. What we hope to present is a version of those spirituals, and they speak not just to black Americans, but to people worldwide Picture Quote #1
