Famous quotes containing the words black and/or slaves:
“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)
“Slavery it is that makes slavery; freedom, freedom. The slavery of women happened when the men were slaves of kings.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
