Quotes by Albert Murray (?)

“Indeed, for all their traditional antagonisms and obvious differences, the so-called black and so-called white people of the United States resemble nobody else in the world so much as they resemble each other.”
― Albert Murray, The Omni-Americans: Some Alternatives to the Folklore of White Supremacy

“American culture, even in its most rigidly segregated precincts, is patently and irrevocably composite …the so-called black and so-called white people of the United States resemble nobody else in the world so much as they resemble each other.”
― Albert Murray, The Omni-Americans: Some Alternatives to the Folklore of White Supremacy

“In the context of a national dialogue, perhaps the only authorization required for “putting in your little two cents worth” is the constitutional provision for free speech. Moreover, the basis for the presumptions of dissent and counter-statement is the same as for popping off: the merest hint or suspicion that outrage is being committed against one’s conception of actuality.”
― Albert Murray, The Omni-Americans: Some Alternatives to the Folklore of White Supremacy
