Famous quotes containing the words ghetto and/or beat:
“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.”

“Whether he cringe at my feet,
whether he beat on your eyes,
white wings, white butterflies.”
