Now each one of us, black or white, is a symbol. the war is out in the open and the skin color is a uniform. all the deep and basic similarities of the human condition are forgotten so that we can exaggerate the few differences that exist.

More From John D. MacDonald

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
I've never seen a sincere white man, not when it comes to helping black people. usually things like this are done by white people to benefit themselves. the white man's primary interest is not to elevate the thinking of black people, or to waken black people, or white people either. the white man is interested in the black man only to the extent that the black man is of use to him. the white man's interest is to make money, to exploit.
Men Thinking White Man
Dear white fella when i am born i’m black when i grow up i’m black when i am sick i’m black when i go out ina sun i’m black when i git cold i’m black when i git scared i’m black and when i die i’m still black. but you white fella when you’re born you’re pink when you grow up you’re white when you git sick you’re green when you go out ina sun you go red when you git cold you go blue when you git scared you’re yellow and when you die you’re grey and you got the cheek to call me coloured?
Growing Up Yellow White
Everything does come from nature. that's where you get new ideas. just draw the landscape. i felt doing it with a bit of burnt wood was also good because i was drawing burnt wood with a piece of wood. i wanted to do black and white. after using color, i thought black and white would be good. you can have color in black and white. there is color in them, actually.
Black And White Color Ideas
For many years, i have been moved by the blue at the far edge of what can be seen, that color of horizons, of remote mountain ranges, of anything far away. the color of that distance is the color of an emotion, the color of solitude and of desire, the color of there seen from here, the color of where you are not. and the color of where you can never go.
Distance Mountain Ranges Blue
When i was in mecca i noticed that their, they had no color problem. that they had people there whose eyes were blue and people there whose eyes were black, people whose skin was white, people whose skin was black, people whose hair was blond, people whose hair was black, from the whitest white person to the blackest black person.
