“Growing up as a black kid with a white father who loves you, who affirms you, who was part of your life is fundamentally different than what black people in my family were subjected to in the 19th century or the 18th century. But unfortunately, it doesn't change the old racial order. I think we need to let the old racial order just stay where it is and not seek to improve upon it. Not try to create more racial categories, because all that does is it makes a race stick around longer.” PeopleThinkingNeedsTryingDoeDifferentKidsLife IsOrderFatherBlackWhiteRaceGrowing UpGrowingCenturyLove YouMy FamilySticksCategoriesBlack People19th Century18th Century Author:Benjamin Jealous
“Your God loves your people and hates mine; he folds his strong arms lovingly around the white man and leads him as a father leads his infant son, but he has forsaken his red children; he makes your people wax strong every day, and soon they will fill the land; while my people are ebbing away like a fast-receding tide, that will never flow again. The white man's God cannot love his red children or he would protect them. They seem to be orphans who can look nowhere for help.” PeopleMenLooksChildrenHelpingSeemsHateFatherStrongWhiteLandLove YouMinesSonArmsProtectRedFlowGod LoveTidesWhite ManInfantFoldsOrphanForsakenGod Loves YouStrong Arms Book:Answering Chief Seattle Source: Answering Chief Seattle

“Life has loveliness to sell, All beautiful and splendid things, Blue waves whitened on a cliff, Soaring fire that sways and sings, And children's faces looking up, Holding wonder like a cup. Life has loveliness to sell, Music like a curve of gold, Scent of pine trees in the rain, Eyes that love you, arms that hold, And for your spirit's still delight, Holy thoughts that star the night. Spend all you have for loveliness, Buy it and never count the cost; For one white singing hour of peace Count many a year of strife well lost, And for a breath of ecstasy Give all you have been, or could be.” LifeGivingYearsWellsChildrenHas BeensStillsEyeBeautifulFacesSpiritNightLostStarsHoursWhiteWonderFireTreeLove YouArmsHolyCostLosingSingingRainGoldBreathsBlueSellsWaveDelightCupsEcstasyScentStrifeSoarCurvesSplendidCliffsLovelinessPine Trees Book:Mirror of the Heart: Poems of Sara Teasdale Source: Mirror of the Heart: Poems of Sara Teasdale
“Everybody has a ‘gripping stranger’ in their lives, Andy, a stranger who unwittingly possesses a bizarre hold over you. Maybe it’s the kid in cut-offs who mows your lawn or the woman wearing White Shoulders who stamps your book at the library—a stranger who, if you were to come home and find a message from them on your answering machine saying ‘Drop everything. I love you. Come away with me now to Florida,’ you’d follow them.” IfsBookHomeKidsWhiteCuttingLove YouMessagesMachinesLibraryStrangerShouldersOver YouComing HomeFloridaBizarreStampsLawnsGrippingAnswering MachinesWearing White Author:Douglas Coupland
