Being born, especially being born a person of color, is a political act in itself.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Being of color in America by no means amounts to a constant barrage of negativity. However, unlike being white, being of color means one's race is a constant issue.
Color is born of the interpenetration of light and dark.
It is not a liberty of circumstance, conceded to us alone, that we wish; it is the adoption absolute of the principle that no man, born red, black or white, can be the property of his fellow man.
Circumstances give in reality to every political principle its distinguishing color and discriminating effect. The circumstances are what render every civil and political scheme beneficial or noxious to mankind.
Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery.
Nothing is so galling to a people not broken in from the birth as a paternal, or, in other words, a meddling government, a government which tells them what to read, and say, and eat, and drink and wear.
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
This is not about race or affiliation, and it isn't about black versus blue. All lives matter.
People aren't born racist.
America is a place where you can be born into a low-income household but still lift yourself up, and it doesn't matter what color you are.
