Malcolm X
“I'm not the kind of person who come here to say what you like. I'm going to tell you the truth whether you like it or not.”
Malcolm X, The Ballot or the Bullet
tags: racism

Octavia E. Butler
“I mean, that guy who wants to be President, that Jarret, he would call you all heathens or pagans or something."

Indeed, he would. “Yes,” I said. “He does seem to enjoy calling people things like that. Once he’s made everyone who isn’t like him sound evil, then he can blame them for problems he knows they didn’t cause. That’s easier than trying to fix the problems.”
Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Talents

Audre Lorde
“And it is upon our ability to look honestly upon our differences, to see them as creative rather than divisive, that our future success may lie.”
Audre Lorde, I Am Your Sister: Collected and Unpublished Writings

Zora Neale Hurston
“Once, when they used to set their mouths in what they thought was the Boston Crimp, and ask me about the differences between the ordinary Negro and “the better-thinking Negro”, I used to show my irritation by saying I did not know who the better-thinking Negro was. I knew who the think-they-are-better Negroes were, but who were the better thinkers was another matter.”
Zora Neale Hurston, Dust Tracks on a Road

Nina Simone
“You use up everything you've got trying to give everybody what they want.”
Nina Simone, The Analog Sea Review: Number Two
