Racism Quotes

Were going to fight racism not with racism, but were going to fight with solidarity. We say were not going to fight capitalism with black capitalism, but were going to fight it with socialism Picture Quote #1

There is a strange kind of tragic enigma associated with the problem of racism. No one, or almost no one, wishes to see themselves as racist; still racism persists, real and tenacious Picture Quote #1

Racism does not limit itself to biology or economics or psychology or metaphysics; it attacks along many fronts and in many forms, deploying whatever is at hand, and even what is not, inventing when the need arises Picture Quote #1

Even if I don’t always behave as I should, this still doesn’t explain why so many people have something against me. But you know how it is. A lot of people vent themselves by coming to the stadium to yell at me. I hope it’s not racism. I tell myself that it’s not racism; it’s because I’m tough, and I repeat this to myself Picture Quote #1

I picked up a camera because it was my choice of weapons against what I hated most about the universe: racism, intolerance, poverty. I could have just as easily picked up a knife or a gun, like many of my childhood friends did... most of whom were murdered or put in prison... but I chose not to go that way. I felt that I could somehow subdue these evils by doing something beautiful that people recognize me by, and thus make a whole different life for myself, which has proved to be so Picture Quote #1

Let me just say that to imagine racism does not exist is imagination. And to imagine that it does not create its own set of problems is true imagination. So let’s not imagine that racism is gone, extinguished, because it’s not. We are seeing this in the top levels of the political arena, and we are seeing it very, very plainly Picture Quote #1

I think it’s cultural racism more than anything, which dovetails with actual racism, but the cultural racism to me is even more shocking Picture Quote #1

I do believe that part of us ending racism is us seeing each other’s humanity and learning to love each other, even if we look different or worship differently or live differently Picture Quote #1

I don’t think racism can be eliminated in my lifetime... or my children’s or grandchildren’s. But I think it’s something we have to strive for. I’m going to keep working toward that day coming Picture Quote #1

I don’t think my films are going to get rid of racism or prejudice. I think the best thing my films can do is provoke discussion Picture Quote #1

I think that if there can be considered racism it’s to do with the lack of opportunities for writers and producers and the people behind the camera Picture Quote #1

Boxing was on the one hand barbaric, unconscionable, out of place in modern society. But then, so are war, racism, poverty, and pro football. Men died boxing, yet there was nobility in defending oneself Picture Quote #1

I really think that discrimination and racism is a horrible thing. And I don’t want any form of it in our government, in our public sphere Picture Quote #1

The media loves nothing more than when there is a racial scandal or something. Racism, bigotry, these are just such hot button issues, and the media loves it Picture Quote #1

There is bias and sexism everywhere, just like there are problems of racism and homophobia stemming from the whole notion that we’re arranged in a hierarchy, that we’re ranked rather than linked Picture Quote #1

Racism keeps people who are being managed from finding out the truth through contact with each other Picture Quote #1

Racism remains in the eyes of history... merely another instance of the persecution of minorities for the advantage of those in power Picture Quote #1

Racism is the dogma that one ethnic group is condemned by nature to congenital inferiority and another group is destined to congenital superiority Picture Quote #1

The minute you understand racism, you’re responsible for being racist. It’s like eating from the tree of knowledge Picture Quote #1

I believe racism has killed more people than speed, heroin, or cancer, and will continue to kill until it is no more Picture Quote #1

One ought to be against racism and sexism because they are wrong, not because one is black or one is female Picture Quote #1

Racism is a virus. And since nobody’s really looking too hard for a cure it reproduces itself over and over again Picture Quote #1

Many voted in 2008 with the desire to see racism and racists humiliated by having a qualified black man elected president Picture Quote #1

I’ve always been raised to love everyone, to accept everyone for their differences, and to just be open. But at a young, a very young age, I realized what racism was all about Picture Quote #1

The human rainbow had been mutilated by machismo, racism, militarism and a lot of other isms, who have been terribly killing our greatness, our possible greatness, our possible beauty Picture Quote #1

Precisely because white denial has long trumped claims of racism, people of color tend to underreport their experiences with racial bias rather than exaggerate them Picture Quote #1

If I had to guess and put a name on it, I’d say that at some point, the drug war was as much a function of class and social control as it was of racism Picture Quote #1

I maintain that the period during the first half of the 1990s, the period in which rising inequality reached its peak, was a period in which we came very, very close to a demagogic immobilization of racism in this society Picture Quote #1

Racism does not diminish with brains, it’s a disease, a sickness, it may incubate in ignorance but it doesn’t necessarily disappear with the gaining of wisdom! Picture Quote #1

Racism is a moral catastrophe, most graphically seen in the prison industrial complex and targeted police surveillance in black and brown ghettos rendered invisible in public discourse Picture Quote #1
