“Whites they pretended to ignore, as they busily lived mirror-image white lives.”
Gail Lumet Buckley
“If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.”
Chief Joseph
“I lived [in Irvine], but I never felt totally accepted as one of these rich white suburban kids. I wasn't economically deprived like so many of my Chicano brothers and sisters, but I felt the tension and the rejection--and that's when I started getting into hip-hop, started break-dancing. `The Message,' `Rapper's Delight,' Run-DMC...that was what was happening around that time.”
Zack de la Rocha
“Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer.”
William Shakespeare
“I like The Geek, a rag-doll pretending to be human. The Prez, an adolescent in the White House, just like the current occupant.”
Joe Simon
“Although I wasn't invited to shake hands with Hitler, I wasn't invited to the White House to shake hands with the President either.”
Jesse Owens
“Some lives are as white as a piece of paper from birth to decease, others are the brilliant colorful pictures.”
