More From Michael Jackson

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
When you have your own bus, then you have dignity. when you have your own school, you have dignity. when you have your own country, you have dignity.when you have something of your own, you have dignity. but whenever you are begging for a chance to participate in that which belongs to someone else, or use that which belongs to someone else, on an equal basis with the owner, that's not dignity. that's ignorance.
Country School Ignorance
For black america needs a politics whose first mission isn't the reinforcement of the idea of black america; and a discourse of race that isn't centrally concerned with preserving the idea of race and racial unanimity. we need something we don't yet have: a way of speaking about black poverty that doesn't falsify the reality of black advancement; a way of speaking about black advancement that doesn't distort the enduring realities of black poverty.
Reality Race Ideas
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
It's the culture, not the blood. if you can go anywhere in the world and adopt these babies and put them into households that were already assimilated in america, those babies will grow up as american as any other baby with as much patriotism and love of country as any other baby. it's not about race. it's never been about race. in fact the struggles across this planet, we describe them as race, they're not race. they're culture based. it's a clash of culture, not the race. sometimes that race is used as an identifier.
Country Baby Growing Up
Pride in one's own race - and that does not imply contempt for other races - is also a normal and healthy sentiment. i have never regarded the chinese or the japanese as being inferior to ourselves. they belong to ancient civilizations, and i admit freely that their past history is superior to our own. they have the right to be proud of their past, just as we have the right to be proud of the civilization to which we belong. indeed, i believe the more steadfast the chinese and the japanese remain in their pride of race, the easier i shall find it to get on with them.
