Text Quotes
To sit back and do nothing is to cooperate with the oppressor  (Jane Elliott Quotes) I am absolutely opposed to political correctness. You cannot confront hate speech until you’ve experienced it. You need to hear every side of the issue instead of just one.  (Jane Elliott Quotes) I’m a practicing Christian - and I’m going to keep practicing till I get it right - but I don’t feel everyone has to practice the same religion that I do. You have a right to worship who you choose and how you choose to  (Jane Elliott Quotes) We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables - the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers - to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences  (Jane Elliott Quotes) I loved raising my kids. I loved the process, the dirt of it, the tears of it, the frustration of it, Christmas, Easter, birthdays, growth charts, pediatrician appointments. I loved all of it  (Jane Elliott Quotes) Racism is a learned affliction and anything that is learned can be unlearned  (Jane Elliott Quotes) No white group has founded a major religion on this planet. The major religious were started in the Orient and the Middle East, not in Greece and Rome. I always knew you racists didn’t have a prayer  (Jane Elliott Quotes) I don’t have a Twitter account. I don’t go to fan club gatherings. I’m not one of those actors who spends a lot of time engaging with the audience  (Jane Elliott Quotes) About 10,000 years ago, males and females were acting equitably and were treating one another as equals, and then males took over the power, because they have physical power and physical strength  (Jane Elliott Quotes) 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 Elliott Quotes) Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism  (Jane Elliott Quotes) I am absolutely opposed to political correctness. You cannot confront hate speech until you’ve experienced it. You need to hear every side of the issue instead of just one  (Jane Elliott Quotes) We don’t know anything about racism. Weve never experienced it. If words can make a difference in your life for seven minutes, how would it affect you if you heard this every day of your life?  (Jane Elliott Quotes) We learn to be racist, therefore we can learn not to be racist. Racism is not genetical. It has everything to do with power  (Jane Elliott Quotes) Somebody has to wear the black hat and give the audience someone to shake their fists at. They want someone to hate. And if that’s what you want to pay me to do, I’m happy to do it!  (Jane Elliott Quotes) This country isn’t a melting pot. Think of this country as a stir fry. That’s what this country should be. A place where people are appreciated for who they are  (Jane Elliott Quotes)
