“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
“In America, racism exists but racists are all gone. Racists belong to the past. Racists are the thin-lipped mean white people in the movies about the civil rights era. Here's the thing: the manifestation of racism has changed but the language has not. So if you haven't lynched somebody then you can't be called a racist. If you're not a bloodsucking monster, then you can't be called a racist. Somebody has to be able to say that racists are not monsters.” PeopleIfsMeanAbleAmericaPastLanguageWhiteGoneRightsHavensChangedRacismMonstersCivil RightsErasManifestationRacist Author:Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie

“There's only one thing different about Barack Obama when it comes to being a Democratic presidential candidate. He's half African-American. Whether that will make any difference, I don't know. I haven't heard him have a strong crackdown on economic exploitation in the ghettos. Payday loans, predatory lending, asbestos, lead. What's keeping him from doing that? Is it because he wants to talk white? He doesn't want to appear like Jesse Jackson? We'll see all that play out in the next few months and if he gets elected afterwards.” IfsKnowsWantDifferentPlayNextStrongDifferencesWhiteHalfOne ThingHeardEconomicHavensMonthsDemocraticBarackAfrican AmericanPresidentialCandidatesExploitationLoanGhettoLendingPresidential CandidatePredatoryPaydayAsbestos Author:Ralph Nader
