"If
you judge people you have no time to love them."
-- Mother
Teresa |  |
One day our descendants
will think it incredible that we paid so much attention to things like the amount
of melanin in our skin or the shape of our eyes or our gender instead of the unique
identities of each of us as complex human beings.
~ Franklin Thomas
"To
finish building the free society dreamed of by Washington, Franklin, and Jefferson,
we must draw upon the resources of the enlightened imagination, which can be systematically
developed by the spiritual sciences of India and Tibet. We have not yet tamed
our own demons of racism, nationalism, sexism, and materialism. We have not yet
made peace with a land we took by force and have only partly paid for. We are
a teeming conglomeration of people from different tribes who have yet to embrace
fully the humanness in one another. And none of us can be really free until all
of us are."
-- Robert
Thurman |  |
"I have no color
prejudices nor caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. All I care to know is that
a man is a human being, and that is enough for me; he can't be any worse."
-- Mark Twain The
very ink with which all history is written is merely fluid prejudice.

But I'm willing to go through
that craziness because I refuse to allow prejudice to defeat me.
-- Dionne
Warwick

I've been
in this struggle for many years now. I understand racism. I understand that there
are a lot of people in this country who don't care about the problems of the inner
city. We have to fight every day that we get up for every little thing that we
get. And so I keep struggling.
-- Maxine
Waters |  |
“We must take sides.
Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentors,
not the tormented Wherever anyone is persecuted for their race or political views,
that place must become the center of the universe.”
-- Elie
Wiesel |  |

Freedom
is an indivisible word. If we want to enjoy it, and fight for it, we must be prepared
to extend it to everyone, whether they are rich or poor, whether they agree with
us or not, no matter what their race or the color of their skin.
-- Wendell
Wilkie

Love
is what we are born with. Fear is what we learn. The spiritual journey is the
unlearning of fear and prejudices and the acceptance of love back in our hearts.
Love is the essential reality and our purpose on earth. To be consciously aware
of it, to experience love in ourselves and others, is the meaning of life. Meaning
does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.
-- Marianne
Williamson |

Excellence
is the best deterrent to racism or sexism.
-- Oprah
Winfrey |
| What we need is
not a history of selected races or nations, but the history of the world void
of national bias, race hate, and religious prejudice.
~Carter
Woodson The
different ness of races, moreover, is no evidence of superiority or of inferiority.
This merely indicates that each race has certain gifts which the others do not
possess.
~Carter Woodson

"My
work cuts through racial, class, geographic, and ethnic separations to directly
connect to the heart, mind, and emotion with people.”
-- Lily
Yeh |
| The historian's
distortion is more than technical, it is ideological; it is released into a world
of contending interest, where any chosen emphasis supports some kind of interest,
whether economic or political or racial, or national or sexual.
-- Howard
Zinn |  |
