You're a Black educated fool, son. These white folk have newspapers, magazines, radios, spokesmen to get their ideas across. If they want to tell the world a lie, they can tell it so well that it becomes the truth; and if I tell them you're lying, they'll tell the world even if you prove you're telling the truth.

Discrimination is discrimination, even when people claim it's 'tradition.

Calling for an end to hate shouldn't be treated as a punishable offense.

If you can't see past my name, you can't see me.

Bigotry hurts the economy, so the next time you want to blame minorities for your problems, first take a look in the mirror.

Those who benefit from unearned privilege are too often quick to discount those who don't.

If you'd combat bigotry, use honest language and call things out for what they really are.
