I don't think well of people who are prejudiced against people because of race. The only way for prejudiced people to change is for them to decide for themselves that all human beings should be treated fairly. We can't force them to think that way.

In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently.

Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.

I believe discrimination still exists in society and we must fight it in every form.

There are still traces of discrimination against race and gender, but it's a lot different than when I started out. It just comes quietly, slowly, sometimes so quietly that you don't realize it until you start looking back.

Ending racial discrimination in jury selection can be accomplished only by eliminating peremptory challenges entirely.

Discrimination is a disease.

Racial profiling has to stop.

If you believe that discrimination exists, it will.

Racism cannot be cured solely by attacking some of the results it produces, like discrimination in housing or in education.
