That goes for whites, too, ... If I made all this money and I want money invested here, I have a right to do that. That is my choice. That is why we live in America, because we have choices.
Jackie Joyner Kersee

We were their homecoming. They were gonna retire Reggie White's jersey. ... everybody thinks they're gonna win their homecoming.
Chris Crocker
Whites they pretended to ignore, as they busily lived mirror-image white lives.
Gail Lumet Buckley
I tell people they don't know who they lost. They lost a great man. (The street naming) would be a great honor, not just for my uncle but for everyone. For blacks, and for whites too.
Richard Palmer
Japanese naval officers in dress whites are frequent guests at [Pearl Harbor's] officers' mess [and] are very polite. They always were. Except, of course, for that little interval there between 1941 and 1945.
William Manchester
Many people, blacks as well as whites, have some trouble having the story of slavery told in a major public venue, ... But we do not have the right not to tell the story.
James Oliver
Whites are significantly less likely to say that there are problems for blacks today.
Frank Newport
Mike Royko, of course a famous local journalist, in one of his books about Mayor Daley claimed that not only did the mayor not want the expressway going through Bridgeport, but he also wanted to keep a specific divider between the whites and the blacks. Of course the Daley administration at the time denied that and said they wanted to get rid of an inelegant turn in the expressway.
Peter Alter
Any music can be learned from and adapted from other artists, and whites have been widely influenced by black music, from Pat Boone singing Fats Domino to Elvis Presley singing 'Hound Dog', a Big Momma Thornton song he heard on the radio.
Bill Ferris
SEVERALTY, n. Separateness, as, lands in severalty, i.e., lands held individually, not in joint ownership. Certain tribes of Indians are believed now to be sufficiently civilized to have in severalty the lands that they have hitherto held as tribal organizations, and could not sell to the Whites for waxen beads and potato whiskey. Lo! the poor Indian whose unsuited mind Saw death be.
Ambrose Bierce
Did he ever step up. Elvin Mims stepped up when it was time to step up. He filled a void (with White's injury). He's a tough customer. He'll give you valuable minutes.
Rosell Ellis
For more than 20 years we have known that black Americans receive a different level of care than whites. Despite concerted efforts to address these disparities, this study shows that black seniors continue to receive fewer surgical procedures than whites. On a fundamental level, these differences in care are not acceptable.
Ashish K. Jha
I have one great fear in my heart, that one day when they (the whites of South Africa) have turned to loving, they will find we (the blacks) are turned to hating.
Alan Paton
Worcester County has great potential for growing grapes. We're still trying to figure the absolute best grapes and we have experiments under way, but you can grow everything on the Eastern Shore and we're very encouraged by whites.
Kevin Atticks
Basically, Louisiana has been a poster child for brain drain, especially whites with college degrees.
William Frey
We are different nations, but it seems as if we were but one people, whites and all.
Black Kettle
You just have to come up with something, because there really, really is no differentiation between the blacks and the whites here and the browns. ... Nobody gets preference in that regard.
Julia Renfro
The laws that once limited one's marriage partner on the basis of race were designed to build walls and keep blacks and whites apart. But preserving the traditional definition of marriage brings men and women together.
Peter Sprigg
It would be reprehensible to us if they went back to being an all-white board. We understand that people are going to take issue with us pushing diversity but are those other 25 seats (on the board of commissioners) guaranteed to whites?
Greg Murray
A lot of the cable channels seemed obsessed with the looting. They'd say the blacks are looting, and the whites found some bread. Those kinds of things really strike a chord with African Americans.
George Curry
I think the idea is now for blacks to write about the history of our music. It's time for that, because whites have been doing it all the time. It's time for us to do it ourselves and tell it like it is.
Dizzy Gillespie
When people see whites and neutrals, they think, 'Fabulous, that's easy!' It's like living in the city and putting on a black suit. It's easy.
Lisa Herbert

Kenny Leon
I'm surprised, particularly at how well the whites showed: crisp and summery.
Fred Dexheimer
I will also spend 10 days with the All Whites when they come in for the Malaysian matches. We will also look at players in Australia when the state leagues start next month. There are other players in Europe we have targeted. We are also keen to have a look in Asia.
John Adshead
I was in yoga the other day. I was in full lotus position. My chakras were all aligned. My mind is cleared of all clatter and I'm looking out of my third eye and everything that I'm supposed to be doing. It's amazing what comes up, when you sit in that silence. 'Mama keeps whites bright like the sunlight, Mama's got the magic of Clorox 2.'
Ellen DeGeneres
It would be really unfortunate if we became more complacent about obesity in blacks than in whites.
Joann Manson
White's shot was huge. We wanted the last shot but took it too early.
Charlie Morgan
That was a big deal at the time, because no blacks were integrated with whites in anything - not in sports, basketball, football, nothing.
Lionel Hampton
It could never be a correct justification that, because the whites oppressed us yesterday when they had power, that the blacks must oppress them today because they have power.
Robert Mugabe
We are pretty intent on opening more campuses in North Carolina because the achievement gap is so great, whether you are talking about the difference between blacks and whites or the difference between eastern North Carolina and Chapel Hill.
Caleb Dolan
We could only enter an establishment through the back door, even though we paid the same money as Whites.
Nettie Coad
We have blacks and whites, Jews and Arabs, Serbs and Croats, and Filipinos and Vietnamese here. At the end of the day, everyone is each other's brother.
Bobby Slayton
I don't mean to offend, ... but whites just didn't see that blacks should be included in the history.
Ann Taylor
This was the first tangible presence of the federal government or any civil authority in the Rogue Valley. Unlike, say, the stereotypical Western vision of Fort Apache, the primary mission of this fort was to protect the Indians from the whites in that period of time.
Mark Tveskov
When you overload and you don't use enough detergent, you have redemption. That's where dirt from your other laundry can deposit on whites, so don't put your nice bright shirt with your dirty socks.
Carl Patton
There's cool bluish white, white with a yellow cast, a rosy cast, a creamy cast. It's kind of cool to mix it all up. Wear a vanilla shade, ecru and optic white, and mix it all together. If you're confused about the different whites, go to the local paint store, they'll sort it out.
Michael Kors
The truth is there are two hundred white women raped in America by a black man for every one black woman raped by whites.
David Duke
If in fact New Orleans were populated by middle-class whites, then you would have seen a far different response.
Bobby Rush
Be nice to whites, they need you to rediscover their humanity.
Bishop Desmond Tutu
He is morally and intellectually superior to his white masters. They're lazy where he is hardworking. He's true to his word where they are not. He rescues his master from debt and illness. At a time when people thought whites were superior in every way, here's a black man who proves himself capable and honest at every turn.
Judy Christensen
It's crazy. . . . It's like a painting. That's why we chose Vail. You have the peaks, the contrast of the blues and whites with the trees. Everything just pops. It's a beautiful location.
George Oliphant
You give them open looks, they don't miss. Now (White's) got all the confidence in the world. Confidence is 95 percent of it. She took them and she hit them. You want to let us shoot it, we'll shoot it.
Paul Vachon
These horrible e-mails, just horrible, ... They were from both blacks and whites from there in the United States, only the United States, criticizing Aruba and how they planned to never set foot on Aruba ever again ... because of the cruelty against these two security guards, how it was so obvious to anyone around the world ... that this was discrimination.
Julia Renfro
Nearly every rescued person, temporary resident of the Superdome, looter or loiterer on the high ground of the freeway I saw on TV was African-American. And from the look of it, they weren't wealthy residents of the Garden District. This storm appears to have hurt blacks more directly than whites, but the broadcasters scarcely mentioned that fact.
Jack Shafer
He was determined to do it (start the branch). He took that petition to the county courthouse to get whites there to sign because you had to have at least 50 signatures to start a branch and there wasn't 50 black people in Salinas.
Agnes Tebo
The challenges are indeed significant. But we want to create sight lines to see the whites in someone's eyes when we're preaching to them.
Jim Moroney
Whites and blacks have a right to work in an environment free of discrimination. The goal of this lawsuit is to protect that right.
David Sanford
I've lived here for 20 years. This is the first time the blacks and the whites in the community have worked together on a project and it's turned out beautifully. I'm so pleased to be a part of the coalition. It's been a wonderful collaborative effort that I hope will continue on to bigger and better things.
Georganne Kirven
So many cultures have been forced to turn away from their pasts. We even fly flags of forgotten kingdoms. We even have mermaids who change into colonial whites.
Crystal Brewe
We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle-class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival.
Christopher Lasch
Things are much better now. I think they'd harass you before for just walking down the street, but it's different now. You don't see that. It's like they're here just doing their job, like everybody else. As far as whites and black getting along, I think that's the case. Everybody's cool.
Johnny Wilson
Our study documents a knowledge gap between racial/ethnic minorities and whites regarding stroke warning signs. It is paradoxical that racial and ethnic minorities at highest risk were least aware. As with heart attack, it is critical that women at risk for stroke know the warning signs because delayed treatment can lead to greater disability or death.
Anjanette Ferris
The legacy of mistrust between blacks and whites is a substantial hurdle to overcome that should not be underestimated. Many members of both groups will be innately suspicious of attempts by an outsider to approach them, especially in the context of ministry.
Garland Hunt
There's one thing you can't learn in a segregated school as a minority. You can't learn to operate in an integrated society. The same is true for whites who grow up attending all white schools. When they get around people of other races, they are not comfortable, and they are not really effective.
Gary Orfield
All we ask is that we have peace with the whites. We want to hold you by the hand. You are our father.
Black Kettle
The first task of whites in these struggles is to be vocal and visible.
Anne Braden
We found that American Indians and Alaska Natives, African Americans and Hispanics are more likely to be victims of fraud than non-Hispanic whites.
Howard Beales
Ethnic minorities were more likely than Whites to receive a lower quality of healthcare even among the insured and higher income minority populations.
National Institute
We want the chief to be able to make good decisions. If the first 10 officers are all male whites and the chief says he needs more diversity, he should be able to pick another qualified officer from the list to represent this department and community.
Reggie Miller
Blacks and Hispanics are going to save, but they will save less than whites both in absolute dollars and as a percent of their current out-of-pocket costs.
Dr. Walid Gellad
Liberal whites are the greatest enemy of African Americans.
James Meredith
Whites are pretty much out, because it takes the color out of everyone's skin. Ninety percent (of our customers) choose ivory or diamond white.
Carly Rager
And the third picture is a picture of a Negro Leagues game in Kansas City. The unique thing about the picture is that while there are black players on the field, there are blacks and whites together in the stands.
Jim Ferguson
These images come from the imagination of whites, and it's whites who need to address them.
Susan Morris
In arriving at a sanction, the disciplinary board determined serious harm had resulted to White's clients.
Kateri Walsh
Race: How Blacks & Whites Think & Feel About the American Obsession.
Studs Terkel
When the whites ruled South Africa they displaced three to four million people from their land. Pre '94 it was pretty tough, we mostly work with kids from that area.
Phil Lilienthal
If a man like Malcolm X could change and repudiate racism, if I myself and other former Muslims can change, if young whites can change, then there is hope for America.
Eldridge Cleaver
We were visited by whites, who always found coming into the black community to be interesting. Some even found it exotic. They knew that some of our restaurants were superior to their own. One of the interesting things is that whites discriminated against blacks. Blacks never discriminated against whites, and so they were always welcome.
