More From Audre Lorde

Stolen sweets are always sweeter, stolen kisses much completer, stolen looks are nice in chapels, stolen, stolen be your apples.
Sweet Nice Kissing
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 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
Within the lesbian community i am black, and within the black community i am a lesbian. any attack against black people is a lesbian and gay issue, because i and thousands of other black women are part of the lesbian community. any attack against lesbians and gays is a black issue, because thousands of lesbians and gay men are black. there is no hierarchy of oppression.
Gay Men Issues
...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.
Writing Black And White Men
What brighton's got is a major sea port on either side, good for importing drugs, great for exporting cash, stolen cars, stolen antiques. it's got the largest number of antique shops in the uk, so it's a great place to fence stolen goods. it's got tremendous communication: you've got the sea ports, you've got the channel tunnel, you've got gatwick airport 25 minutes away, and london's 50 minutes away by train. so all these escape routes... which is what villains like.
Communication Airports Sea

I am confident that for the foreseeable future (barring some catastrophic event affecting economic, energy, electrical, and communications systems), many subpopulations that use information intensively (e.g., students, academics, library patrons, white collar workers) will be using some sort of portal information appliance.

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 dictatorship of the proletariat and the leadership of the marxist-leninist party are indispensable conditions for the triumph of the socialist revolution and the building of socialism.
Party Communication Triumph
It sounds so trite but in relationships, you have to communicate.
