More From Katherine Dunham

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
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
Iron and coal dominated everywhere, from grey to black: the black boots, the black stove-pipe hat, the black coach or carriage, the black iron frame of the hearth, the black cooking pots and pans and stoves. was it a mourning? was it protective coloration? was it mere depression of the senses? no matter what the original color of the paleotechnic milieu might be it was soon reduced by reason of the soot and cinders that accompanied its activities, to its characteristic tones, grey, dirty-brown, black.

Obama wouldn't have been voted president if he weren't black. somebody asked me over the weekend why does somebody earn a lot of money have a lot of money, because she's black. it was oprah. no, it can't be. yes, it is. there's a lot of guilt out there, show we're not racists, we'll make this person wealthy and big and famous and so forth.... if obama weren't black he'd be a tour guide in honolulu or he'd be teaching saul alinsky constitutional law or lecturing on it in chicago.
Stupid Teaching Weekend
Yes, i would agree that america, just like spain was in the 17th century, is the main empire of the world and they are the ones who, on the surface, are the most pushy: pushing their language, pushing their culture - or what there is of it - pushing by force their system on others.
