What White America and Black America wanted and expected from Obama were fundamentally different and opposite things.
I am so used to having two faces. A face that I had for black America and a face for white America. When Obama became president, I lost both faces. Now I only have one face.
All black Americans have slave names. They have white names; names that the slave master has given to them.
Black Americans, no more than white Americans, they do not want more government programs which perpetuate dependency. They don't want to be a colony in a nation.
The issues a president faces are not black and white, and cannot be boiled down into 140 characters. Because when you have the nuclear codes at your fingertips and the military at your command, you can't make snap decisions. You can't have a thin skin or the tendency to lash out.
The Americans at heart are a pure and noble people; things to them are in black and white. It's either 'rawk' or it's not. We Brits putter around in the grey area.
I like boring black and white films with subtitles. I'm basically a drip.
If everything isn't black and white, I say, 'Why the hell not?'
Sexism isn't a one-size-fits-all phenomenon. It doesn't happen to black and white women the same way.
What we're doing with Band of Brothers is trying to put it into human terms, so it is not just a flickering, black and white myth on a screen, it is a resonant story. I want the audience to recognize themselves in these men. They're not just mythic heroes.
I'm light-skinned. I'm mixed with black and white.
Color television! Bah, I won't believe it until I see it in black and white.
A racially integrated community is a chronological term timed from the entrance of the first black family to the exit of the last white family.
Between 2007 and 2010, the average white family experienced an 11% reduction in wealth, but the average black family lost 31% of its wealth. The average Hispanic family lost 44.7%.
The dream was not to put one black family in the White House, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody's house.
We were the only black family in an estate with 1,000 white families. Liverpool being quite racist in the Sixties, it was a bit grim growing up.
I had white family members, black family members, white friends, black friends by the time I was 16.
I know the difference between black magic and white magic.
I think anybody who is racist is an idiot whether they are black or white.
I generally don't think most situations can be labeled as black or white.
