I have never experienced racism in the feminist movement, so it concerned me to think that I was unable to see the subject clearly because I came from white, middle-class privilege.
Betty Buckley

I have visited some places where the differences between black and white are not as profound as they used to be, but I think there is a new form of racism growing in Europe and that is focused on people who are Middle Eastern. I see it.
Montel Williams

I look at an ant and I see myself: a native South African, endowed by nature with a strength much greater than my size so I might cope with the weight of a racism that crushes my spirit.
Miriam Makeba

I love Canadians because I don't see very much racism in Canada.
Patti LaBelle

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war that the bright daybreak of peace and brotherhood can never become a reality... I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word.
Martin Luther King, Jr.

I think what I came through is great, but my son can take it to another level, not having to fight racism. His mother's a Norwegian and I'm mixed up four or five times, so he can face the world.
James Brown

I want to reach young women and to get them involved in the mission of the YWCA, economic empowerment of women and girls, and ending racism.
Patricia Ireland

I was born and raised in the oldest settled part of the nation and in an environment in which racism was officially mooted.
Constance Baker Motley

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.
Lisa Bonet

I was raised to believe that excellence is the best deterrent to racism or sexism. And that's how I operate my life.
Oprah Winfrey

I was the only white kid in my neighborhood for most of my youth even in high school, so reverse racism was just as apparent as racism.
Shia LaBeouf

I, for one, would think both about how far we have come as a country and how much further we need to go to erase racism and discrimination from our society.
Charles Rangel

I'm not trying to say that it never hurt or that I never felt its sting, but I can honestly say that I never blamed anybody for racism. I have considered it more of a manifestation of humanity's problem rather than my personal problem.
Robert Guillaume

I've certainly experienced racism, but it has not made a great impact on me. I have always thought, as I got older and older, I was more in charge of who I was. What someone thought about me or said about me made less of an impression on me at very vulnerable times.
Robert Guillaume

If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.
Eldridge Cleaver

If black people mistrust white people, they are mistrusting racism, and that is appropriate.
Jasmine Guy

If I was in a room with a bunch of skinheads talking about racism, then I would be disturbed, but after we finished a take, we were normal people again.
Edward Furlong

If only Al Sharpton were around, Lincoln would have known he was a victim of racism.
Ann Coulter

If we talk about the environment, for example, we have to talk about environmental racism - about the fact that kids in South Central Los Angeles have a third of the lung capacity of kids in Santa Monica.
Danny Glover

If you live in the elite world of dance, you find yourself in a world rife with racism. Let's face it.
Alvin Ailey
