Famous quotes containing the words black culture, black and/or culture:

    “We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
    —Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

    “(The black stream, catching on a sunken rock,
    Flung backward on itself in one white wave,
    And the white water rode the black forever.”
    —Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    “The first time many women hold their tiny babies, they are apt to feel as clumsy and incompetent as any man. The difference is that our culture tells them they’re not supposed to feel that way. Our culture assumes that they will quickly learn how to be a mother, and that assumption rubs off on most women—so they learn.”
    —Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)
