The negro has suffered far more from the commission of this crime against the women of his race by white men than the white race has ever suffered through his crimes.

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

It demonstrates to his simple mind in the most positive manner that we have no prejudice against him on account of his race, and that while he behaves himself he will be treated the same as a white man.

After all the black man has been through in this world, he can still often reach levels of spirituality the most pampered white man cannot touch. Maybe what he's been through is the reason why.

The American Negro never can be blamed for his racial animosities - he is only reacting to 400 years of the conscious racism of the American whites.

The man who in this world can keep the whiteness of his soul is not likely to lose it in any other.

The Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.

You look at the descriptions of Whitey by law enforcement during his early years, and they sum him up pretty well. He was the same guy 40 years later; he just had $40 million more, and had committed 40 more murders.

I've never seen anyone more messed up over success than Richard Pryor. For him, it's a constant battle between success in the white world and keeping it real for his black self.

It is apparent, if you go back through our history, that the grand juries of the criminal justice system do not value black lives.
