Not so long ago this used to be freely said in parliament, even about the educational system of the black people. It is still said even today, although in a much more sophisticated language. To a…”— Steve Biko, amazon.com
“Even today, we are still accused of racism. This is a mistake. We know that all interracial groups in South Africa are relationships in which whites are superior, blacks inferior. So as a prelude whites must be made to realize that they are only human, not superior. Same with blacks. They must be ma…”— Steve Biko, en.wikiquote.org
“Weinsteins victims are white and famous and that's why we care... The same attention has never been paid to women in other industries when they’ve come forward—women who certainly have more to lose than a movie star—and certainly has never been paid to victims who are women of color.”— Kevin Fallon, thedailybeast.com
“If you steal money, you probably get arrested and convicted, because everybody says stealing is wrong. But if you do something that is very sexist or racist, because there still is a critical mass of bias in this country, it takes more cumulative instances for it to be recognized.”— Gloria Steinem, thedailybeast.com
“Man, there's nothing in the world that makes me as nervous as seeing white people dance.”— Charles Barkley, slate.com
“The hardest but most important thing is to get a dialogue going on racial issues. I think people want to do better, I really do. I just think they're afraid. They don't know exactly what to do. Nobody wants to make the first move. We can't get past worrying about disagreement, so we don't have meani…”— Charles Barkley, slate.com
“Racism does exist. It is always going to exist, but until we as a people stop killing each other and stop not getting our education we are never going to be successful.”— Charles Barkley, cnn.com
“I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.”— Charles Barkley, cnn.com

“Asking protestors to remain non-violent as Nazis approach them is in effect, asking those of us who are the target of Nazi violence, to be willing to die for the sake of liberal sensibilities. You don’t have to support violence yourself or go out and punch a Nazi, but do not ask marginalized people…”— Abdullah Shihipar, qz.com
“Gender-based violence does not exist without other systems of violence, especially those built to uphold white supremacy (such as racism, colonialism, zionism, militarism).”— Mahroh Jahangiri, feministing.com

“Homophobia is like racism and anti-Semitism and other forms of bigotry in that it seeks to dehumanize a large group of people, to deny their humanity, their dignity and personhood. This sets the stage for further repression and violence that spread all too easily to victimize the next minority group…”— Coretta Scott King, en.wikiquote.org
“Prejudices pit us against one another... One reason women compete so fiercely in the workplace is that it seems as if only a few positions are open to us. That’s not a too-many-women problem, it’s a too-few-slots-because-of-gender-and-racial-bias problem.”— Ashton Applewhite, nytimes.com
“Racism is simply an ugly form of collectivism, the mindset that views humans only as members of groups and never as individuals. Racists believe that all individuals who share superficial physical characteristics are alike; as collectivists, racists think only in terms of groups. By encouraging Amer…”— Ron Paul, lewrockwell.com
“Race has been a constant arbiter of difference, as have wealth, class, and gender— each of which is about power and the necessity of control.”— Toni Morrison, amazon.com
“Slowly, white people taught me that no matter what I did and how I behaved, I was never going to read ‘good’ to them because of the deviant brown body narrative.”— Prisca Dorcas Mojica Rodriguez, zine.philaprint.com

Tired at length of anarchy, or want…”— Alexander Hamilton, founders.archives.gov
