Racism is man's gravest threat to man - the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.
Abraham J. Heschel

Erik Hansen
It is not enough to show leaflets and films against racism in our stadiums.
Gerardo Gonzalez
We kill each other, ... Black men are in pain, and, in some cases, black men are reacting to years of institutional racism and chronic habitual insults. But it's how we react to that pain that's a concern. This is a major issue in our community.
Robert Atwell
The only country that had this law is Canada. This was really racism.... Why strictly on Chinese? History said those people built the railways for Canada.

Michelle Hoffman
There's a lot of racism against Arabs inside Israel, and there's a lot of racism by Arabs against Israeli Jews.
Robert Fisk
Evil is the shadow of angel. Just as there are angels of light, support, guidance, healing and defense, so we have experiences of shadow angels. And we have names for them: racism, sexism, homophobia are all demons - but they're not out there.
Matthew Fox
History is not going to be kind to liberals. With their mindless programs, they've managed to do to Black Americans what slavery, Reconstruction, and rank racism found impossible: destroy their family and work ethic.

It?s a very quiet story. People certainly don?t know the history of racism here.

Charles Stewart
Any concept of one person being superior to another can lead to racism.
Walter Lang
I'm used to them saying things about me. Everything I'm trying to do has solid legal ground. It's not a matter of racism. For me it's a matter of protecting our borders and properly enforcing our laws.
Chip Rogers
From my experience, no, I didn't experience any racism. Everything was pretty good for me at Duke.
Daniel Ewing
We do devote the same level of resources to murders in relation to their difficulty. What the difference is, is how these are reported. I actually believe the media is guilty of institutional racism in the way they report deaths.
Sir Ian Blair
What happened on the 18th is merely a microcosm of the problem of racism that exists here on campus and within society at large.
Stacy King
What we don't want is a law that should be addressing anti-racism contributing to the problem.

Yvonne Bunch
This play is a searing inside account of what white racism does to its victims, ... and it floats on the same authentic artistry as the blues music it celebrates.
Frank Rich
This reeks of racism. What's going to happen to our inner-city kids? They are going to get an average, mundane education offered to them at best.
Jackie Wagstaff
He could mix stories about high fashion and the glamorous world he moved in with the gritty, more difficult subjects of racism and poverty that he knew firsthand and photographed with great sympathy.
John Loengard
He said until they played Kentucky, they had been working so hard that they didn't even think about racism. They were just too busy working to try to win.
Derek Luke
It's not a matter of racism anymore. It's probably more: The people who golf together stay together.
Bob Carroll

Alfonso Soriano
The conference is an important opportunity for us all to map out the quickest route to a game free of racism and discrimination.
Piara Powar
I'm not trying to say that it never hurt or that I never felt its sting, but I can honestly say that I never blamed anybody for racism. I have considered it more of a manifestation of humanity's problem rather than my personal problem.
Robert Guillaume
But the worst I think is the racism.
Simon Jenkins
He educated himself out of racism.

Moshe Katsav
I don't think institutional racism is found at a certain data point. It's found over time.
Russ Williams
For the Ku Klux Klan to now attempt to engage schools is a new and scary development in Michigan. Schools are a breeding ground for racism. This has to be stomped out right away.
Greg Murray
It is not enough to show leaflets and films against racism in our stadiums. This problem is a real risk to professionals because it limits their performance by being humiliated and creating fear.
Gerardo Gonzalez
The truth is black people died, not because of President Bush or racism, they died because of their unhealthy dependence on the government and the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco.
Lee Peterson
There is no place in Australian cricket for racism, whether it be on or off the field.
Peter Young
We have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism.

Denis Leary
It never occurred to me that anyone would buy into the notion that Mr. Bush and his supporters would actually do something about poverty and racism. Someone who believed that could probably be persuaded to make a bid on eBay to buy the Brooklyn Bridge.
Bob Herbert
Israel has committed serious crimes against Palestinian people but it is simply not accurate to use the word genocide and to equate Zionism with racism ... it is now a matter of damage control.
Reed Brody
(Racism) is here, you can't deny it.
Amber Harris

Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism.
Jane Elliot
This is an example of the possible outcome of extreme prejudice and racism.

Frank Mackay
These episodes of racism occur in cycles.
Iris Chang
I believe racism is at the roots of this. Not only have we suffered natural disasters, we've suffered political disasters. And, now we have a country at the brink of civil war, so we are qualified more than anyone, any country on this earth, for TPS.
Marleine Bastien
We've come a very, very long way, a long way to breaking down the barriers of racism.
Dana Coffey
Music is a great healer, a great diffuser of things like racism. It cuts through boundaries, and it's a very positive force in the world.
Richard Thompson
In Europe, one kind of racism is acceptable. It is fashionable to take an anti-Muslim position. Our job as Muslims is to combat that.
Mazen Mokhtar
Maybe she took it a little too far, but even the African-Americans in attendance didn't seem to mind. I don't think it was racism. Maybe it was ignorance. They just didn't know. They didn't intend to offend anybody.
James Henderson
I believe that racism is at the root of this because if there is any country that qualifies for TPS, it is Haiti. We've met all the criteria and beyond. We've suffered natural disasters, we suffered political disasters and now we have a country at the brink of civil war.
Marleine Bastien
As much as everyone wants to downplay racism, it exists. There's a great mistrust among some African-Americans of white people.
Steve Mitchell
I believe that this nation can only heal from the wounds of racism if we all begin to love blackness. And by that I don't mean that we love only that which is best within us, but that we're also able to love that which is faltering, which is wounded, which is contradictory, incomplete.
Bell Hooks
The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal.
Dorothy Allison
This is my first time doing something like this. It's time to get involved. It's not about racism. It's about illegal immigration. We've always welcomed immigrants. We just want them to be legal.
Linda Newman
The policemen or soldiers are only a gun in the establishments hand. They make the racist secure in his racism.
Huey Newton
(Jar Jar) seems to owe something to Disney characters. If you go back and look at cartoons from the '30s and the '40s and the '50s, they're full of racism. And it's deliberate. And Dumbo, the black crows, were meant to remind you of black people.
Michael Dyson
Once they put me on the air, they realize I'm not about bashing Mexicans. I'm about ending hatred and racism against Mexicans.
Gustavo Arellano
Ageism is as odious as racism and sexism.
Claude Pepper
They don't understand things like racism, social cliques and a lot of pop culture items, whether it is movies, music, style of dress, things like that. They don't know how to necessarily fit in with particular groups.
Shakeer Abdullah
When you talk about racism what do you look for? You look for a pattern, ... The black justices that have come before him for confirmation, there were 27. He voted for 26 -- voted, yes, for 26. I see a pattern there, but the pattern is what we're all proud of.
Charles Polk
Racism, pollution and the rest of it are themselves very close to extinction.

David Baldus
We can go on talking about racism and who treated whom badly, but what are you going to do about it? Are you going to wallow in that or are you going to create your own agenda?
Judith Jamison
Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.
Ruth Benedict
That's what it is, racism. It still exists in Hawaii. Keep strumming your ukulele.

Angela Crawford
Racism, sexism, drug and alcohol abuse, mental illness, unemployment — homelessness encompasses pretty much every social problem.
Jena Desai
I go to community meetings and everybody's jumping up and down, hollering at the police. He ain't the problem. ... We talk racism, we talk class. When do we put the onus on the community? Why are you letting this stuff go on?
Richard Garland
It's sad but I think we will never find a way to end it [Racism]. But I think we can help if we learn to tolerate and accept people the way they are.

This is a terrible situation and we need to have compassion. The truth is Black people died not because of President Bush or racism, they died because of their unhealthy dependence on the government and the incompetence of Mayor Ray Nagin and Governor Kathleen Blanco.
Lee Peterson
I don't want to lower myself by responding to suspicions of racism.
Fabien Barthez
This isn't about hatred. This isn't about racism. We stand against a broken system that has failed all of us.

Racism may be as systemic as it always was. It is the great problem of America. It's the one stumbling block that I don't believe was ever smoothed over.
Robert Guillaume
We're in a period of denial about the extent to which racism still exists as a structural phenomenon. It was just so evident in this storm. Even in the language people used.
Thaddeus Mathis
The regulations will also be applied for this World Cup. At the first sign (of racism) there will be a deduction of three points, then we are finished with the problems of discrimination.
Joseph Blatter
Racism is always there underneath, but usually it is exploited in these times of economic crisis, and it's hard to find out when one slides into another.

These days, acts of racism are furtive. And, all too often, they happen in our own back yard.
John Jordan
Affirmative action is the attempt to deal with malignant racism by instituting benign racism.
Elliott Larson
We don't know anything about racism. We've 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
It's just plain racism, ... What else can you call it? It's not like all 25 players are Latinos, so you can't blame it all on the Latino players. It's just stupidity. It's definitely sad that there are still stupid people like that guy out there.
Edgardo Alfonzo
Racism is the most serious problem facing football today. This declaration is a solid foundation to kick racism out of football. Equal opportunity is a right, not a privilege.
Elliot Paul
The community put such a premium on success. And you had no excuse to blame racism or discrimination as a reason why you couldn't succeed.

Eldridge Cleaver
Racism is not over. It didn't end with the civil rights movement.
Erica Mercker
I was in a no-win situation. To 50 percent of the world, the Confederate flag represents heritage, but to the other half it means racism. I'm not here to draw that line. This is a restaurant. It's not a place for politics.
Zach Doulaveris
If I was in a room with a bunch of skinheads talking about racism, then I would be disturbed, but after we finished a take, we were normal people again.
Edward Furlong
We are the primary beneficiaries of racial privilege. It means something for a group of white people to speak out against racism and actively fight it.
Erica Mercker
It's Racism at the Bottom.
