★ Race & Racism (I)

I watched racism manifest itself in the way service was provided for white people in rich areas – it was very different than the way police service was provided for black people or poor people.  Ronald Hampton, executive director US National Black Police Association

 

 

Racism is still with us.  But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.  Rosa Parks

 

 

Racism is a refuge for the ignorant.  It seeks to divide and to destroy.  It is the enemy of freedom, and deserves to be met head-on and stamped out.  Pierre Berton

 

 

Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human.  It’s a self-centred falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we would not want to be treated.  Alveda King

 

 

Racism oppresses its victims, but also binds the oppressors, who sear their consciences with more and more lies until they become prisoners of those lies.  They cannot face the truth of human equality because it reveals the horror of the injustices they commit.  Alveda King

 

 

You don’t fight racism with racism, the best way to fight racism is with solidarity.  Bobby Seale

 

 

Racism springs from ignorance.  Mario Balotelli

 

 

We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism.  We must destroy both racism and capitalism.  Huey Newton

 

 

Racism, in the first place, is a weapon used by the wealthy to increase the profits they bring in by paying Black workers less for their work.  Angela Davis

 

 

We have to talk about liberating minds as well as liberating society.  Angela Davis

 

 

Racist oppression invades the lives of Black people on an infinite variety of levels.  Blacks are imprisoned in a world where our labor and toil hardly allow us to eke out a decent existence, if we are able to find jobs at all.  When the economy begins to falter, we are forever the first victims, always the most deeply wounded.  When the economy is on its feet, we continue to live in a depressed state.  Unemployment is generally twice as high in the ghettos as it is in the country as a whole and even higher among Black women and youth.  The unemployment rate among Black youth has presently skyrocketed to 30 per cent.  If one-third of America’s white youth were without a means of livelihood, we would either be in the thick of revolution or else under the iron rule of fascism.  Substandard schools, medical care hardly fit for animals, overpriced, dilapidated housing, a welfare system based on a policy of skimpy concessions, designed to degrade and divide (and even this may soon be cancelled)  this is only the beginning of the list of props in the overall scenery of oppression which, for the mass of Blacks, is the universe.  Angela Davis, If They Come in the Morning, 1971

 

 

No matter what vision one has of South Africa, the first thing that must be done is to destroy racism.  Joe Slovo

 

 

Racism is a moral catastrophe, most graphically seen in the prison industrial complex and targeted police surveillance in black and brown ghettos rendered invisible in public discourse.  Cornel West

 

 

Coming in from Botswanaland Seretse Khama – he had been summoned to Britain to discuss the future rulership of the tribe affected by his marriage to former London typist Ruth Williams.  Pathé News

 

 

I wish to say that I am sadly disappointed with the undemocratic decision of the British government in exiling me from my country.  Seretse Khama

 

 

It was a very disgraceful story.  Tony Benn

 

 

There is patently no legitimate overriding purpose independent of invidious racial discrimination which justifies this classification.  The fact that Virginia prohibits only interracial marriages involving white persons demonstrates that the racial classifications must stand on their own justification, as measures designed to maintain White Supremacy.  Loving v Virginia 388 US 1 1967

 

 

When I woke up there was the policeman standing beside the bed.  He told us to get up; we were under arrest.  Mildred Loving, televised interview 1967 

 

 

And Abraham said unto his eldest servant of his house, that ruled over all that he had, Put, I pray thee, thy hand under my thigh:      

 

And I will make thee swear by the Lord, the God of heaven, and the God of the earth, that thou shalt not take a wife unto my son of the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell.  Genesis 24:2&3

 

 

And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said unto him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.  Genesis 28:1

 

 

And they set on for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians, which did eat with him, by themselves: because the Egyptians might not eat bread with the Hebrews; for that is an abomination unto the Egyptians.  Genesis 43:32

 

 

And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.  Numbers 12:1

 

 

For they have taken of their daughters for themselves, and for their sons: so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the people of those lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been chief in this trespass.  Ezra 9:2

 

 

And they made an end with all the men that had taken strange wives by the first day of the first month.  Ezra 10:17

 

 

And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.

 

Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to transgress against our God in marrying strange wives?  Nehemiah 13:25&27

 

 

Beware of all whoredom, my son, and chiefly take a wife of the seed of thy fathers, and take not a strange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe: for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: remember, my son, that our fathers from the beginning, even that they all married wives of their own kindred, and were blessed in their children, and their seed shall inherit the land.  Tobias 4:12

 

 

And he had caused the cursing to come upon them, yea, even a sore cursing, because of their iniquity.  For behold, they had hardened their hearts against him, and they had become like unto a flint; wherefore, as they were white, and exceedingly fair and delightsome, that they might not be enticing unto my people the Lord God did cause a skin of blackness to come upon them.  Book of Mormon: II Nephi 5:21 

 

 

O my brethren, I fear that unless ye shall repent of your sins that their skins will be whiter than yours, when ye shall be brought with them before the throne of God.  Book of Mormon: Jacob 3:88

 

 

As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it – whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, he is trash.  Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird

 

 

Hating people because of their color is wrong.  And it doesn’t matter which color does the hating.  It’s just plain wrong.  Muhammad Ali

 

 

I wish I could say that racism and prejudice were only distant memories.  We must dissent from the indifference.  We must dissent from the apathy.  We must dissent from the fear, the hatred and the mistrust ... We must dissent because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better.  Thurgood Marshall

 

 

To cheapen the lives of any group of men, cheapens the lives of all men, even our own.  This is a law of human psychology, or human nature.  And it will not be repealed by our wishes, nor will it be merciful to our blindness.  William Pickens

 

 

The white man’s happiness cannot be purchased by the black man's misery.  Frederick Douglass

 

 

If he were allowed contact with foreigners he would discover that they are creatures similar to himself and that most of what he has been told about them is lies.  The sealed world in which he lives would be broken, and the fear, hatred, and self-righteousness on which his morale depends might evaporate.  It is therefore realized on all sides that however often Persia, or Egypt, or Java, or Ceylon may change hands, the main frontiers must never be crossed by anything except bombs.  George Orwell, 1984

 

 

All nationalistic distinctions – all claims to be better than somebody else because you have a different-shaped skull or speak a different dialect – are entirely spurious, but they are important so long as people believe in them.  George Orwell
