The black community now in many ways divided itself the way the larger white community divides itself, over class issues. And that race is no longer the bond that it once was. That's one of the prices you pay for progress.

There is no black-and-white situation. It's all part of life. Highs, lows, middles.

This nation is being divided into black and white, and the present system encourages this.

Given the historical power differential between blacks and whites, blacks are required to be attentive to the way their white counterparts see themselves in relation to people of color if they want to survive and even thrive.

In a sense the quest for the emancipation of black people in the U.S. has always been a quest for economic liberation which means to a certain extent that the rise of black middle class would be inevitable.

Nothing is black-and-white, except for winning and losing, and maybe that's why people gravitate to that so much.

But I think the possibility of a black and white society feeding each other's expertises, living harmoniously, will probably go along in fits and starts now but at least it has a great constitution now to back it up.

Once one understands that 'racial tensions' is a euphemism for a black animosity toward whites and a left-wing construct, one begins to understand why the election of a black president has had no impact on most blacks or on the left.

The black population now consists of two distinct classes-the middle class and the poor.

White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.
