Prejudice is like a hair across your cheek. You can't see it, you can't find it with your fingers, but you keep brushing at it because the feel of it is irritating.

Like one of any minority, I have experienced prejudice.

It's interesting to take a look at people who deal with prejudice on a daily basis - it's been a real eye opener for me.

I have never been able to discover anything disgraceful in being a colored man. But I have often found it inconvenient - in America.

Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on.

The only prejudice I've found anywhere in TV is in some advertising agencies, and there isn't so much prejudice as just fear.

There will always be that dreadful monster prejudice to do extra battle against because of their color.

I think prejudice has gotten to a point where a lot of people hold biases in their mind and don't even realize that they're doing it, because it's deeply ingrained in the fabric of what it means to be an American.

I've never bothered about my color. I never had that thing about being black. If the whole world was like that, maybe there would be more harmony and love. Maybe. I don't have a problem with being black in a white country or being with my people.

The broad brush of stereotyping is what least appeals to people of color.
