“My definition of good is that you understand that this is a question of power. That you be willing to give up some power. That you be willing to give up some resources. That you be willing to pay Black people reparations for our years and years of service in this country. That you be willing to go home and tell your white mother and father about white racism and how it affects and kills Black people in our communities. That's my definition of good white people, and I haven't met any like that.” PeopleGivingYearsCountryHomeMotherFatherBlackCommunityWhitePayHavensWillingMetsGiving UpRacismResourcesDefinitionsBlack PeopleOur CommunityMother And FatherReparationsWhite RacismYears Of Service Author:Sister Souljah

You've got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that's real.” IfsWantRealBlackColorWillingShadowDepthFullnessPalette Author:Amy Grant

“There is only one party in the United States, the Property Party...and it has two right wings: Republican and Democrat. Republicans are a bit stupider, more rigid, more doctrinaire in their laissez-faire capitalism than the Democrats, who are cuter, prettier, a bit more corrupt - until recently... and more willing than the Republicans to make small adjustments when the poor, the black, the anti-imperialists get out of hand. But, essentially, there is no difference between the two parties.” TwoStatesHandsBitsBlackDifferencesPoorUnitedPartyUnited StatesWillingRepublicanCapitalismWingsPropertyDemocratAdjustmentRight WingLaissez FaireLaissez Faire Capitalism Author:Gore Vidal
