If we're gonna progress as a people we are going to realise that, as one of my favourite poets says, the other is a lie. There are no other people. Race is a social construct.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We must come to the point where we realize the concept of race is a false one. There is only one race, the human race.
The chief obstacle to the progress of the human race is the human race.
Anyone reading contemporary poetry - especially contemporary African-American poetry - will quickly see that race is an enduring subject. What some don't realize is just how diverse the handling of that subject is. It's as diverse as blackness.
We're not separate races. There's only one human race.
Race is a subject about which there are points of agreement, and about which there is no agreement; a subject that is either spoken of reluctantly, or not spoken of at all.
The different ness of races, moreover, is no evidence of superiority or of inferiority. This merely indicates that each race has certain gifts which the others do not possess.
Sometimes it is claimed by those who argue that race is just a social construct that the human genome project shows that because people share roughly 99% of their genes in common, that there are no races. This is silly.
No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.
Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.
A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected in as many ways they're capable of understanding.
