You would never expect a black woman to be the hero.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Dr. Martin Luther King is not a black hero. He is an American hero.
My black hero is and always will be Martin Luther King, not just because of the strength of his oratory but because his vision was very much the reality that I'd come to take for granted.
All black women aren't sassy, loud, difficult, or subservient. We are, in fact, very complex and very diverse, living very complex and diverse lives. That point cannot be made enough.
What America demands in her black champions is a brilliant, powerful body and a dull, bestial mind.
Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration.
Black women as a group have never been fools. We couldn't afford to be.
You're never going to be able to delve into the character traits of a Michelle Obama or Hillary Clinton.
I don't know that I constantly think about being a black woman.

I would have thought that a woman would have become president before a black man.
