“Evil is the shadow of angel. Just as there are angels of light, support, guidance, healing and defense, so we have experiences of shadow angels.

“Unfortunately, the greater consciousness among Whites about Black equality has not carried over to the new victims of racism - Muslims and Immigrants. There is no racial enlightenment for these groups, which are huge. Millions of Muslims and an equal number of immigrants, who whether legal or illegal, face discrimination both legally from the government and extra-legally from White Americans - and sometimes Black and Hispanic Americans. The Democratic Presidential candidates are avoiding these issues in order to cultivate support among White Americans.” SometimesGovernmentFacesOrderBlackWhiteNumbersConsciousnessMillionsSupportIssuesGreaterGroupsHugeEqualRacismEnlightenmentVictimDemocraticDiscriminationPresidentialExtrasCandidatesImmigrantsIllegalAvoidingHispanicPresidential Candidate Author:Howard Zinn

“If racism is not the whole of the Tea Party, it is in its heart, along with blind hatred, a total disinterest in the welfare of others, and a full-flowered self-rationalizing refusal to accept the outcomes of elections, or the reality of democracy, or the narrowness of their minds and the equal narrowness of their public support.” IfsMindHeartSelfWholeRealityPartyAcceptingSupportDemocracyEqualRacismHatredElectionBlindTeaWelfareOutcomesRefusalTea PartyDisinterest Author:Keith Olbermann

“There's still massive racism in the United States today that is rooted in sexual fears, but it's at least considered unacceptable.

“When liberal whites fail to understand how they can and/or do embody white supremacist values and beliefs even though they may not embrace racism as prejudice or domination (especially domination that involves coercive control), they cannot recognize the ways their actions support and affirm the very structure of racist domination and oppression that they wish to see eradicated.” WayMayActionValuesBeliefWishWhiteSupportFailingRacismPrejudiceStructureEmbraceOppressionRacistDomination Book:Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black Source: Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black
“I believe we should work to end all racism in American society and staunchly defend the inherent rights of every person. I have clearly stated in prior interviews that I abhor racial discrimination and would have worked to end segregation.

“Patriarchy, like any system of domination (for example, racism), relies on socializing everyone to believe that in all human relations there is an inferior and a superior party, one person is strong, the other weak, and that it is therefore natural for the powerful to rule over the powerless.
