Black People Quotes

I wanted to write a novel that would make others feel the history: the pain and fear that black people have had to live through in order to endure Picture Quote #1

I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to express the views of black people who otherwise don’t have access to power and the media. I have to take advantage of that while I’m still bankable Picture Quote #1

The tea baggers. The one thing they hate is when you call them racist. The other thing they hate is black people. But they won’t say it Picture Quote #1

We are fighting so that insults may no longer rule our countries, martyred and scorned for centuries, so that our peoples may never more be exploited by imperialists not only by people with white skin, because we do not confuse exploitation or exploiters with the colour of men’s skins; we do not want any exploitation in our countries, not even by black people Picture Quote #1

When I first started writing plays I couldn’t write good dialogue because I didn’t respect how black people talked. I thought that in order to make art out of their dialogue I had to change it, make it into something different. Once I learned to value and respect my characters, I could really hear them. I let them start talking Picture Quote #1

When white people wear baggy clothing and speak gibberish they’re homeless, when black people wear baggy clothing and speak gibberish they’re called rappers Picture Quote #1

It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you’re associating with black people. Do you have to? Picture Quote #1

I think black people have to be in control of their own image because film is a powerful medium. We can’t just sit back and let other people define our existence Picture Quote #1

I carry a knife now because I read in a white magazine that all black people carry knives. So I rushed out and bought me one Picture Quote #1

You don’t have a baby based on that publicity madness. People don’t live like that. Especially black people who were raised in families with morals and standards and integrity Picture Quote #1

For me, soldiers are all equal. Those black people wore your same uniform, fought on your side, and so you will be in the same jail Picture Quote #1

For black people, being around white people is sometimes like taking care of babies you don’t like, babies who throw up on you again and again, but whom you cannot punish, because they’re babies Picture Quote #1

There had always been black people in and out of our house, and from the outset I had been taught that for them life was defined by struggle and filled with injustice Picture Quote #1

Everything about us black people is complicated, us being here, being a minority, being a woman, all those things are complicated Picture Quote #1

I’ve always taken pride to be the white guy that can talk to the black people, that can refer to them truly as a brother from a different mother Picture Quote #1

Nothing is out of our realm, because it has nothing to do with color. As black people, we’re not different from anyone else, other than the exterior Picture Quote #1

I’m light skinned, and I used to lean on that because that’s something a lot of black people pride themselves on, and it’s weird Picture Quote #1

Black people loving and losing is something we don’t see enough of. We’re always in these heightened situations like something big is happening, something funny or something violent. And you know what? Sometimes we die of breast cancer or a broken heart. Things happen that are just not being explored cinematically. It’s time we reinvigorated that type of film Picture Quote #1

Fighting by itself doesn’t interest me anymore. I want to help people, the black people and I need any kind of media to spread my thought: God, charity, peace Picture Quote #1

It is our experience that the nation doesn’t move around questions of genuine equality for the poor and for black people until it is confronted massively, dramatically in terms of direct action Picture Quote #1

Either black people end up being the best in sports, or else it’s show business. You know, we all got rhythm Picture Quote #1

I like a bit of color myself, I must say. At my time of life, if you wear nothing but black, people might think you were too mean to change frocks between funerals Picture Quote #1

The blues records of each decade explain something about the philosophical basis of our lives as black people.... Blues is a basis of historical continuity for black people. It is a ritualized way of talking about ourselves and passing it on Picture Quote #1

Throughout history there have been black people who have played mammies, all sorts of offensive images, who didn’t mind doing it Picture Quote #1

If you’re black, you can’t just be ordinary. All successful black people are extraordinary. If you are tremendously successful, and you’re black, you are extraordinary, or you wouldn’t stand out in this world Picture Quote #1

Black people can be the most conservative, the most discriminating. Especially among ourselves. It wasn’t white people who said all black men have to wear baggy jeans Picture Quote #1

I marvel at the many ways we, as black people, bend but do not break in order to survive. This astonishes me, and what excites me I write about. Everyone of us is a wonder. Everyone of us has a story Picture Quote #1

Black people watch more television than anybody else, which makes it legitimate to talk about television. Its anesthetizing effect has been quite real. But that concern isn’t new Picture Quote #1

It’s possible and available to any artist to be himself or herself on their own terms, to be accepted and embraced by black people. You don’t have to be a thug to get love from black people Picture Quote #1
