“To be happy one must be (a) well fed, unhounded by sordid cares, at ease in Zion, (b) full of a comfortable feeling of superiority to the masses of one's fellow men, and (c) delicately and unceasingly amused according to one's taste. It is my contention that, if this definition be accepted, there is no country in the world wherein a man constituted as I am - a man of my peculiar weakness, vanities, appetites, and aversions - can be so happy as he can be in the United States.” IfsMenWorldWellsCountryStatesFeelingsCareUnitedUnited StatesTasteComfortableMassWeaknessFellowsDefinitionsAcceptedVanityEaseFedsAppetitePeculiarSuperiorityFellow ManAmusedAversionContentionZion Author:H.

“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
