“My research continues to amaze and baffle me. As human beings, we are geniuses. What we didn’t get from the home, we find ways of getting elsewhere. It’s evident, then, when one looks at the stats we don’t have a teenage pregnancy problem and we don’t have a street gang problem. I will even suggest that we don’t have a drug and alcohol problem, nor do we have a crime problem rather, these are only the symptoms that we are experiencing, and the real problem is broken homes that result in broken lives.”
Drexel Deal, The Fight of My Life is Wrapped Up in My Father

Mike Ma
“Did you know the CIA put anime into black communities nationwide? Undoubtedly their largest psychological operation to date, followed by the introduction of crack-cocaine and World Star Hip Hop.”
Mike Ma, Harassment Architecture

“I am a Black woman, therefore, I am destined to protect myself. Our men have wandered too far to beckon. They are lost guardians. Thus, you learn early on how to wield your sword & hoist your shield -- how to stand shoulder to shoulder with your sister in battle and wail a cry that never seems to be loud enough. And I am tired. If only I could rest. To be a Queen with no infantry is a painful sight indeed. They do not yield to my crown. How useless is my throne, if I am to continue to fight alone?”
Bethanee Epifani J. Bryant, Don't Fall Prey! Dating Tales, Trials, & Triumphs

“Encouraging campaign crowds to join in lauding economic gains for minorities is quite a strange approach for a racist.

For a quick refresher: racists order the National Guard to block entry to universities. They segregate federal facilities, and they order the police to fire water cannons at peaceful protesters seeking basic human rights. Please note, when you actively work to enrich and empower blacks, like Donald Trump has done for the last three and a half years, you are at odds with racists.”
Horace Cooper, How Trump Is Making Black America Great Again: The Untold Story of Black Advancement in the Era of Trump

“When I look at it carefully, by examining the interviews and the various social scientistsâ€� studies, it becomes easy for me to see that we all were just rebelling. Regardless of the area we grew up in or the gang we were affiliated with, or which part of the Western world we found ourselves in, we all were rebelling. We were rebelling and crying out for our fathers. We were rebelling against the home conditions that existed in our communities. We needed our fathers, but above all we wanted to be loved and accepted by them. Since we couldn’t find it at home and in our respective communities, we created it for ourselves.”
Drexel Deal, The Fight of My Life is Wrapped Up in My Father

“After looking at all that President Trump has done to specifically help the black community, I believe there's enough concrete evidence to state 'he's not a racist'.”
Kathy Barnette, Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: Being Black and Conservative in America

“White liberal policies have proven to be the black community's kryptonite.”
Kathy Barnette, Nothing to Lose, Everything to Gain: Being Black and Conservative in America

“Black folks, it's ok to celebrate an end to the Trump Presidency while questioning the future of our nation. It's ok to celebrate Kamala Harris and still denounce white supremacy. It's ok to celebrate the work we contributed to this election while understanding that the fight is not over. It's ok to have a celebratory moment despite scattered emotions. We've always given ourselves permission to express hope & joy even during dark times.”
Bethanee Epifani J. Bryant

“This form of tyranny avoids any real conversation on racial disparity as such a conversation might risk exposing the damage that leftist policies have wracked upon the African-American community since the 1060's.”
Charles Moscowitz, Toward Fascist America: 2021: The Year that Launched American Fascism

Ben Carson
“I believe that many of our pressing racial problems will be taken care of when we who are among the minorities will stand on our own feet and refuse to look to anybody else to save us from our situation.”
Ben Carson, Gifted Hands: The Ben Carson Story

“As I learned more about the juvenile and criminal justice systems, I was reminded of all those jail and prison visits I'd made in my life. What struck me was just how regular it was. We have to take a second to process how messed up that is. We have normalized the abnormal so completely we don't even realize it. Why was this part of Black boys' coming-of-age? Why are some things praised and aspired to? Why are certain things like serving time held up as a badge of honor when they only lead to ruin?”
Michael K. Williams, Scenes from My Life: A Memoir

“No one wakes up and says they want to be a gangbanger or a drug dealer- that's the last stop on the train. That what you do when you're drowning and reaching out for something- anything- to survive. By the time they get to the corner, there has been a series of things that led to that decision. No one wakes up at the top of the mountain and decides they would like it better down there on the bottom. They end up there out of desperation. We don't spend enough time examining the wider picture, the steps that get them there. We don't tell that part of the story. And to tell half the story is to spread a lie.”
Michael K. Williams, Scenes from My Life: A Memoir

“When white people catch a cold, they say, black people get pneumonia.”
Michael K. Williams, Scenes from My Life: A Memoir

“He is a hobosexual, don’t let him spend the night”
Kaitlan C. Farrior
