“I think going into space would be like going deep into the ocean, like 5,000 meters down. When you go down that far, it's just awfully black. There's not much there except mud and some particles. I imagine space would be a similar thing.

“The true France is a multicultural France. Where someone is appointed minister not because she is a woman but because she is competent. And not because she is from a visible minority. I am against positive discrimination. Someone can be intelligent and black, and someone can be an imbecile and white.” BlackWhiteIntelligentDiscriminationFranceMinistersVisibleMinoritiesCompetentMulticulturalImbeciles Author:Patrick Gaubert
“You're not a Black man. You're a human being in God's eyes. So when you sit down to talk to someone and you talk to them in really intelligent terms, you ask difficult questions, there's a militancy that's assigned to you without you asking for it, because you are simply judged by what you look like. If you're a white person asking the same questions, you'd be one of these CNN guys and say how brilliant he is. That doesn't work for you, because this is the world we live in.” IfsMenWorldHumansLooksPersonsEyeGuyAsksDifficultBlackTermHuman BeingsWhiteIntelligentAskingBrilliantJudgedWithout YouCnnDifficult QuestionsMilitancy Author:James McBride
