Black Quotes

What the human eye sees is an illusion of what is real. The black and white image transforms illusions into another reality Picture Quote #1

Somebody has to wear the black hat and give the audience someone to shake their fists at. They want someone to hate. And if that’s what you want to pay me to do, I’m happy to do it! 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

Education in our family was not merely emphasized, it was our raison d’etre... In this family of accomplished scholars, I was to become the academic black sheep. I performed adequately at high school, but in comparison to my older brother, who set the record for the highest cumulative average for our high school, my performance was decidedly mediocre Picture Quote #1

The myth of the strong black woman is the other side of the coin of the myth of the beautiful dumb blonde Picture Quote #1

This is my genre... the happiness, tragedies, and the sorrows of mankind as realized in the teeming black ghetto Picture Quote #1

The social order of things has demanded an emphasis on the differences between gender that do not in my opinion in fact exist. I’m not going to go around putting pronouns on everything. Things are often deeply compromised by the set of assumptions you bring to the world, which is this black or white, this male or female Picture Quote #1

I tend to think having that extreme of color, that kind of black, is amazingly beautiful... and powerful. What I was thinking to do with my image was to reclaim the image of blackness as an emblem of power Picture Quote #1

I don’t drink or do any drugs. I never have and I never will. I don’t need them. I’m a black woman from the land of the free, home of the brave, and I figure I don’t need another illusion Picture Quote #1

Literature is one of the few areas left where black and white feel some identity of purpose; we all struggle under censorship Picture Quote #1

I think the black community is no different from any other community. We need to take responsibility for how we live together. We need to be personally responsible for keeping our streets clean, our schools safe, and our houses peaceful Picture Quote #1

I think the end is endless. It’s either a big black hole or a big white light or both together. But it’s totally meaningless, because even if someone would explain it, I wouldn’t understand it 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

I look for a sense of reality with everything I did. I didn’t work in a studio, I didn’t light anything. I found a way of working which pleased me because I didn’t have to frighten people with heavy equipment. It was that little black box and me and £5 worth of film in my pocket or maybe it was only £2 in those days 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

There are expectations in how you play your character as a black woman, to be sassy and the same kind of feel, as if there are no quirky black women. I struggle with those things constantly, trying to add dimension to my work, and that’s the goal, too Picture Quote #1

Far too many black men who praise their own mother feel less accounted to the mothers of their own children Picture Quote #1

Black women’s feelings of responsibility for nurturing the children in their own extended family networks have stimulated a more generalized ethic of care where black women feel accountable to all the black community’s children 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

I wear a lot of black, but not in the goth way, I just really love black. I’ll never be in pink or purples Picture Quote #1

I make films about black women and it doesn’t mean that you can’t see them as a black man, doesn’t mean that he can’t see them as a white man or she can’t see them as a white woman Picture Quote #1

Blacks don’t square dance. If you see a black person square dancing, it is definitely the seventh sign Picture Quote #1

We put stereotypes on ourselves. Everybody does that. But I think it’s just a little harder for black kids to just be who they are Picture Quote #1

Black culture is a fight. We want to hold on to what we are, but sometimes the things that we are can be totally negative. You have to think: can’t we try something new and not be seen as suspect? 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 don’t think anyone is black and white and I think we change our minds and our attitudes about certain things as we grow to our maturity Picture Quote #1

The only thing I change mainly is my sneakers. I love sneakers. But everything’s sort of black or jeans. Jeans, always Picture Quote #1

I’d rather a young black actor read about success as opposed to how tough it was. I get these roles because I can act and that’s it. Hopefully that’s it Picture Quote #1

I definitely am drawn to strong females who are successful, smart women because I am a woman like that. I think it’s important to portray those kinds of women on film and television. Especially as a black woman, I think it’s important Picture Quote #1

A black man, but I feel so blue. So I smoke green and purple to my dreams come true. And my eyes turn red, the sky turns grey Picture Quote #1
