Black Quotes

We were in the heart of the ghetto in Chicago during the Depression, and every block - it was probably the biggest black ghetto in America - every block also is the spawning ground practically for every gangster, black and white, in America too Picture Quote #1

I’ll shout it if they want: Down with isms! Up with a Left that is capable of thinking outside the box! In other words, I am more than completely cured of simplifications, of dividing the world into good and evil, of thinking in black and white. I have repented! Picture Quote #1

In the history of photography, we have many masterpieces in terms of black and white books. You have Bresson’s ‘Decisive Moment,’ Frank’s ‘The Americans’... many masterpieces. But there is nothing to this caliber in color. Well, I think I’ll waltz with my muse and hope that I might be able to produce something on this order in color Picture Quote #1

In my Philly neighborhood, black and white kids hung together without even thinking about it. The spirit of Martin Luther King was alive and well Picture Quote #1

I started ‘Society’s Child’ on a bus in East Orange as I was going home from school. I saw a black and white couple sitting there and started thinking about it Picture Quote #1

I went to a predominantly white school, and I was the only black girl. I can remember thinking, ‘I don’t want to be as dark as I am - I want to be a little fairer.’ I didn’t want to be me Picture Quote #1

I’ve read quite a few readers’ reviews of my book on Amazon, saying, ‘Ah, he criticises the free market, he advocates central planning.’ I don’t do that for a minute! But this is our black and white, dichotomous way of thinking - which has really been harmful Picture Quote #1

When it comes to racial issues, I’m very passionate about young girls just loving who they are in their own skin. Because I remember going to an all-white school and being the only black girl in an all-white school, think - looking around me, thinking there’s no one else here that looks like me Picture Quote #1

[ Negro leaders] never let the white man know exactly what black people are thinking Picture Quote #1

We’ve begun to put fear into those whites who think they can do anything they want to a black person and get away with it Picture Quote #1

When I was born in 1959, the hospital in which I arrived had separate floors for black babies and white babies, and it was then illegal for blacks and whites to marry in many states Picture Quote #1

Sadly, whites are rarely open to what black and brown folks have to say regarding their ongoing experiences with racist mistreatment. And we are especially reluctant to discuss what that mistreatment means for us as whites: namely that we end up with more and better opportunities as the flipside of discrimination Picture Quote #1

Noir is where the clarity of moral divisions break down, the black and whites turn into grays Picture Quote #1

Even if its a white crowd, I tell my jokes for the four black people in the room, not the 100 whites Picture Quote #1

Then, I think the day I turned 13, I painted the walls black and put Kurt Cobain on the wall and just changed everything into a dark theme Picture Quote #1

Black is not sad. Bright colours are what depress me. They’re so... empty. Black is poetic. How do you imagine a poet? In a bright yellow jacket? Probably not Picture Quote #1

The emancipation of man is the emancipation of labor and the emancipation of labor is the freeing of that basic majority of workers who are yellow, brown and black Picture Quote #1

This great son of the world, Madiba, showed us the way. Whether you are white, black yellow or brown you are all God’s children, come together, work together and God will show you the way Picture Quote #1

Animals like crows, owls or black cats are not ominous at all; it is the men’s superstitious mind which is the inauspicious one! Picture Quote #1

The way we value black beauty has changed. I’m single now, but back in the slave days, I would have never been single. I’m 6 feet tall and I’m strong. Look at me, I’m a Mandingo Picture Quote #1

I liked speed. I was on black beauties all the time. Nothing bad happened to me. I didn’t become a drug addict because I always had to make a movie. We weren’t stoned when we made them; I was stoned when I made movies up. I did them all Picture Quote #1

Black Beauty,’ by Anna Sewell, remains a star-dusted memory because my mom read it aloud to my sister and me at night for months. I was no more than 7 Picture Quote #1
