Race in America has always centered on our mutual agreement not to see each other. White or non-white. Black or non-black. Mongoloid, Hindoo. We’ve always bought into to the crudest, humanity-denying forms of sorting Picture Quote #1

I started a lecture series that was inspired by my reporting on race in America. The ‘Black in America’ series launched on CNN in 2007 as an opportunity to freshen the national conversation on race Picture Quote #1

You know, I don’t play the race card a lot. I’m half-black, half-white, and I’m proud of - my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didn’t raise me as a black man. She didn’t raise me as a white guy Picture Quote #1

We all stand on the shoulders of our ancestors. We’re in a relay race, relying on the financial and human capital of our parents and grandparents. Blacks were shackled for the early part of that relay race, and although many of the fetters have come off, whites have developed a huge lead Picture Quote #1

If you think about ‘Person of Interest’ with Taraji P. Henson or ‘Scandal’ with Kerry Washington - any of those black women could have been any race; they just happen to be black.

I don’t like the idea of the black race being diluted out of existence. I like the idea of all of us being here Picture Quote #1

It’s interesting, gender versus race. I think people say that to women more: ‘Oh, you’re my favorite female.’ They wouldn’t say ‘favorite black comic.’ Picture Quote #1

There’s sort of a persistent misperception that talking about race is black folk’s burden. Ultimately, only men can end sexism, and only white people can end racism Picture Quote #1

It’s one thing when other African-Americans try to threaten my race card, but when people outside of my ethnicity have the audacity to question how ‘down’ I am because of the bleak, stereotypical picture pop culture has painted for me as a black woman? Unacceptable Picture Quote #1

And he gave it for his opinion, that whoever could make two ears of corn, or two blades of grass, to grow upon a spot of ground where only one grew before, would deserve better of mankind, and do more essential service to his country, than the whole race of politicians put together Picture Quote #1

Until justice is blind to color, until education is unaware of race, until opportunity is unconcerned with the color of men’s skins, emancipation will be a proclamation but not a fact Picture Quote #1

I’ve often been a little concerned by people who say they are color-blind, people who claim, in some ways, not to be aware of race, and I hope that those who will be looking for a vision of the future will be a little more honest, and say race actually does matter Picture Quote #1

It doesn’t matter what blood or race or creed or color. Love is love and it breaks all boundaries and you just see it right away Picture Quote #1

If I describe a person’s physical appearance in my writing, which I often do, especially in fiction, I never say someone is black or white. I may describe the color of their skin - black eyes, beige skin, blue eyes, dark skin, etc. But I’m not talking about race Picture Quote #1
