Clearly no one knows what leadership has gone undiscovered in women of all races, and in black and other minority men.
Gloria Steinem

But it is a black man's game, and it will be forever.
Larry Bird

As far as playing, I didn't care who guarded me - red, yellow, black. I just didn't want a white guy guarding me, because it's disrespect to my game.
Larry Bird

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.
Robert Browning

I try to speak my points of view about black America, and how I feel about black men and the role that black men should play in their lives with their children and in their lives with their women.
Will Smith

There's so much negative imagery of black fatherhood. I've got tons of friends that are doing the right thing by their kids, and doing the right thing as a father - and how come that's not as newsworthy?
Will Smith

Good communication is just as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh

I am really enjoying the new Martin Luther King Jr stamp - just think about all those white bigots, licking the backside of a black man.
Dick Gregory

The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul.
Emma Goldman

As another has well said, to handicap a student by teaching him that his black face is a curse and that his struggle to change his condition is hopeless is the worst sort of lynching.
Carter G. Woodson

Remember the words of Chairman Mao: 'It's always darkest before it's totally black.'.
John McCain

In the early days, we just wore black onstage. Very bold, my dear. Then we introduced white, for variety, and it simply grew and grew.
Freddie Mercury

Because as a youngster I longed to see the Black man free and I longed to see anyone stand up for us.
Louis Farrakhan

Many of the Jews who owned the homes, the apartments in the black community, we considered them bloodsuckers because they took from our community and built their community but didn't offer anything back to our community.
Louis Farrakhan

Black leadership has to recognize that principles more than speech, character more than a claim, is greater in advancing the cause of our liberation than what has transpired thus far.
Louis Farrakhan

Could it be that my circle is largely black and that it is why I am influential in black circles but not in white circles?
Louis Farrakhan

There is no one right now in my judgment that can unite the Black electorate in such a way to present our agenda to a nominee to have them forthrightly address our concerns.
Louis Farrakhan

It appears that there is a genocidal plan against Black people.
Louis Farrakhan

I think every group of black guys should have at least one white guy in it.
Dave Chappelle

But what of black women?... I most sincerely doubt if any other race of women could have brought its fineness up through so devilish a fire.
W. E. B. Du Bois
