Racism Is A Reflection Of Personal And Collective Anxieties Lodged Deep In The Hearts And Minds Of White Americans: By Lerone Bennett,Jr.1965

Racial prejudices are indications of a disturbed and potentially unstable society
Dr. Kenneth B. Clark,1963

Racism is...... a negation of the deepest identity of the human being,who is a person created in the image and likeness of God
Pope John Paul,1997

To gloss over race in a society may in itself be a capitulation to racism
Alexander Thomas,M.D. 1972

Most of us remain trapped in the narrow framework of the dominant liberal and Conservative views of race in America,which with its worn-out vocabulary leaves us intellectually debilitated,morally dis empowered,and personally depressed.
Cornel West,1993

A candid examination of race matters takes into us to the core of the crisis of American democracy. And the degree to which race matters in the plight and predicament of fellow citizens is a crucial measure of whether we can keep alive the best of this democratic experiment we call America.
Cornel West,1994

Until you talk you about power and privilege,you can't talk about change. It's hard for white Americans to deal with their own racism.
John Tucker,1997

Racism is nothing but more or less than white privilege,white power,and white violence.
Manning Marable,1997
