“Once upon a time a Georgian printed a couple of books that attracted notice, but immediately it turned out that he was little more than an amanuensis for the local blacks--that his works were really the products, not of white Georgia, but of black Georgia. Writing afterward as a white man, he swiftly subsided into the fifth rank.” MenWritingLittlesBookBlackWhiteProductsCoupleLocalsWhite ManFifthPrintedGeorgiaOnce Upon A TimeGeorgians Author:Joel Chandler Harris
“I've always said as a political scientist that "culture" is what we use when we can't explain things. I think it's more about accessibility. Part of the problem is that this is an expensive game [golf]. I know in a couple of places where there are black members, and they come from pretty much the same socioeconomic level that the white members come from.” ThinkingKnowsSaidUseProblemPoliticalCultureGamesBlackWhiteLevelsCoupleMembersScientistGolfExpensiveAccessibility Author:Condoleezza Rice
“It seems that people are more comfortable with the private outrage about gay marriage, because when you are outraged about this issue, it requires no work. There's no work that you have to do when you're outraged about a gay couple. There is work that you have to do if you want to see black fathers raise their children. There is work that you have to do if you want to see a school develop.” PeopleIfsWantChildrenSeemsSchoolFatherBlackIssuesCoupleGayComfortableRaisesGay MarriageOutrageOutragedGay Couples Author:Otis Moss III
“We always see the Holocaust in terms of black-and-white images, barking Germans, cowering Jews. We know very well-known fixed places like Auschwitz, Birkenau, Treblinka, and Beltzec. Instead, war can live in a couple having a spat, when we say, "That was a real war." We very rarely have the Holocaust live in the terms of today. And I think that's a problem, because it becomes ancient history.” ThinkingKnowsWellsWarRealProblemTodayBlackTermWhiteKnownCoupleAncientJewFixedHolocaustBlack And WhiteWell KnownAuschwitzSpatsAncient HistoryTreblinka Author:Yann Martel
