| It would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes |
| I don't believe in quotas. America was founded on a philosophy of individual rights, not group rights. Clarence Thomas Quotes |

| People sometimes ask if I have tried to convince black 'leaders' to take a different view on racial issues. Of course not. I wouldn't spend my time trying to persuade the mafia to give up crime. Why should I spend time trying to convince race hustlers to give up victimhood? It's their bread and butter. Thomas Sowell Quotes |
| I detest racialism, because I regard it as a barbaric thing, whether it comes from a black man or a white man. Nelson Mandela Quotes |
| I think it's insulting to people who have a heritage of slavery to compare the homosexual experience in America to that.

Rush Limbaugh Quotes |
| It is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society. Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes |

| The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt. Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes |

| Violence as a way of achieving racial justice is both impractical and immoral. It is impractical because it is a descending spiral ending in destruction for all. It is immoral because it seeks to humiliate the opponent rather than win his understanding; it seeks to annihilate rather than to convert. Violence is immoral because it thrives on hatred rather than love. Martin Luther King Jr. Quotes |
| Every time you see a black romance it's over-the-top. There always has to be extreme hostility between the sexes. He has to cheat. she has to show him how independently strong she is, not just as a woman but as a black woman. Bernie Mac Quotes |
