“We are still conditioning people in this country and, indeed, all over the globe to the myth of white superiority. We are constantly being told that we don't have racism in this country anymore, but most of the people who are saying that are white. White people think it isn't happening because it isn't happening to them.”
Jane Elliot
“White people in this country are tweaked. We are raised to believe a myth of White superiority. Malcolm X, in The Autobiography of Malcolm X, said that White people's "belief that they are 'superior' in some way is so deeply rooted that these things are in the national White subconscious.”
Jane Elliott
“The moment a mere numerical superiority by either states or voters in this country proceeds to ignore the needs and desires of the minority, and for their own selfish purpose or advancement, hamper or oppress that minority, or debar them in any way from equal privileges and equal rights -- that moment will mark the failure of our constitutional system.”
Franklin D. Roosevelt
“Noblesse oblige; or, superior advantages bind you to larger generosity”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Like dogs, bicycles are social catalysts that attract a superior category of people”
Chip Brown
“He does not care for flowers. Calls them rubbish, and cannot tell one from another, and thinks it is superior to feel like that.”
Mark Twain
“I don?t believe in titles, they make people think they are superior”
Henry Ford
