White Shoe

Famous quotes containing the words white and/or shoe:

    Every time I embrace a black woman I’m embracing slavery, and when I put my arms around a white woman, well, I’m hugging freedom. The white man forbade me to have the white woman on pain of death.... I will not be free until the day I can have a white woman in my bed.
    Eldridge Cleaver (b. 1935)

    Now it is time to call attention
    to our bed, a forest of skin
    where seeds burst like bullets.
    We are in our room. We are in
    a shoe box. We are in a blood box.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
