Red White

Famous quotes containing the words red and/or white:

“His breast was deep and white,
cold and caressable;
his eyes were red glass,
much to be desired.”

“It was common practice for me to take my children with me whenever I went shopping, out for a walk in a white neighborhood, or just felt like going about in a white world. The reason was simple enough: if a black man is alone or with other black men, he is a threat to whites. But if he is with children, then he is harmless, adorable.”
—Gerald Early (20th century)
