“Whenever any black man in america shows signs of an uncompromising attitude, against the injustices that he experiences daily, and shows no tendency whatsoever to compromise with it, then the American press [characterizes him] as a radical, as an extremist someone who's irresponsible, or as a rabble rouser or someone who doesn't rationalize in dealing with the problem.” MenShowsProblemAmericaBlackAttitudePressesInjusticeTendenciesCompromiseRadicalIrresponsibleExtremistRationalizeUncompromising Author:Malcolm X
“It is always disagreeable to take stands. It is always easier to compromise, always easier to let things go. To many women, and I am one of them, it is extraordinarily difficult to care about anything enough to cause disagreement or unpleasant feelings, but I have come to the conclusion that this must be done for a time until we can prove our strength and demand respect for our wishes. We cannot even be of real service in the coming campaign and speak as a united body of women unless we have the respect of men and show that when we express a wish, we are willing to stand by it.” MenRealDoneEnoughShowsFeelingsBodyCareSpeakWishCausesDifficultUnitedWillingEasierDemandProveCampaignsConclusionCompromiseDisagreementDisagreeableLetting Things Go Book:Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends Source: Love, Eleanor: Eleanor Roosevelt and Her Friends
