When we don't have information, we go to the simplest outlook, to black and white. But then we have to lie to ourselves. Black is never as black as you're painting it and white is never as white.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When we tell little white lies, we become progressively color-blind. It is better to remain silent than to mislead.
We want to live in the black and white, but we don't. The world is gray. And, I'm always fascinated by people who are clearly, 'This is black and this is white, and that's the way life is.' Life always has something to say about that.
Things are not quite so simple always as black and white.
If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
Black people don't have an accurate idea of their history, which has been either suppressed or distorted.
I don't see the world completely in black and white. Sometimes I do.
Everything's not black and white. We choose to make bad decisions or not.
Human nature is not black and white but black and grey.
It's fascinating that people, there's so many people now who will make judgments based on what you look like. I'm black. So I'm supposed to think a certain way. I'm supposed to have certain opinions. I don't do that. You don't create a box and put people in and then make a lot of generalizations about them.
No one ever talks about the moment you found that you were white. Or the moment you found out you were black. That's a profound revelation. The minute you find that out, something happens. You have to renegotiate everything.
