Men Law White

More From James Otis

[slave] trade ... is the most shocking violation of the law of nature, has a direct tendency to diminish ... liberty, and makes every dealer in it a tyrant, from the director of an african company to the petty chapman [peddler].... it is a clear truth, that those who every day barter away other men's liberty will soon care little for their own.
Men Law Tyrants
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
If the white man wants to live in peace with the indian, he can live in peace. treat all men alike. give them all the same law. give them all an even chance to live and grow. all men were made by the same great spirit chief. they are all brothers. the earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. let me be a free man, free to travel, free to stop, free to work, free to trade where i choose, free to choose my own teachers, free to follow the religion of my fathers, free to think and talk and act for myself, and i will obey every law, or submit to the penalty.

Growing Up Yellow 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!'

...black women write differently from white women. this is the most marked difference of all those combinations of black and white, male and female. it's not so much that women write differently from men, but that black women write differently from white women. black men don't write very differently from white men.

Similar Quotes
Keep things informal. talking is the natural way to do business. writing is great for keeping records and putting down details, but talk generates ideas. great things come from out luncheon meetings which consist of a sandwich, a cup of soup, and a good idea or two. no martinis.
Communication Writing Talking
The years rolled their brutal course down the hill of time. still poor, my clothes still smelling of the horse barn, still writing those doubtful poems where too much emotion clashed with too many words.
Horse Writing Years
I think it was the fact that i liked it so much that made the writing just come out of me automatically.
