More From Marcus Garvey

I was on a panel with light skinned blacks and a famous gay science fiction writer, who were complaining about how blacks are against gays and light skinned blacks and how intolerant blacks are of different groups. my position was that blacks were among the most humanistic, tolerant groups in the country and that across the street from my house in oakland was one inhabited by white gays.
Country Gay Light
Taking the continent as a whole, this religious tension may be responsible for the revival of the commonest racial feeling. africa is divided into black and white, and the names that are substituted- africa south of the sahara, africa north of the sahara- do not manage to hide this latent racism. here, it is affirmed that white africa has a thousand-year-old tradition of culture; that she is mediterranean, that she is a continuation of europe and that she shares in graeco-latin civilization. black africa is looked on as a region that is inert, brutal, uncivilized - in a word, savage.
Religious Latin Black And White
White people scare the crap out of me. i have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord, never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and i've never heard a black person say, 'we're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!'
Movie Jobs Nice
In the united states the whites speak well of the blacks but think bad about them, whereas the blacks talk bad and think bad aboutthe whites. whites fear blacks, because they have a bad conscience, and blacks hate whites because they need not have a bad conscience.
Hate Thinking Racism
I felt like it was a courageous show [black-ish] from the beginning. we are a black family - we're not a family that happens to be black. but the show is not even about us being black. the show is about us being a family. that is groundbreaking - on tv, the black characters either happen to be black or they're the "black character," where everything they say is about being black. i think that's the genius.
Character Thinking Black
I have just as much right to stay in america - in fact, the black people have contributed more to america than any other race, because our kids have fought here for what was called "democracy"; our mothers and fathers were sold and bought here for a price. so all i can say when they say "go back to africa," i say "when you send the chinese back to china, the italians back to italy, etc., and you get on that mayflower from whence you came, and give the indians their land back, who really would be here at home?"

My dad was an absentee dad, so it was always important to me that i was part of my daughter's life, and she deserved two parents, which is part of the rationale behind us staying married for 30 years.

Hug your children...kiss your mothers and fathers, your brothers and sisters. tell them how much you love them, every day. because every day is the last day. every light casts a shadow. and only the gods know when the darkness will find us.

Muslim women had to go out in purdah, that heavy sheet that covers even the eyes. hindu women had to go out in the doli, a kind of closed sedan chair like a catafalque. my mother always told me about these things with bitterness and rage.

My mom was my main influence growing up, and phylicia rashad reminded me a lot of my mother, just the way she handled certain things, she was... not soft-spoken but smooth-spoken. just very calm, cool, collected about things.
