Living in a state of terror was new to many white people in America, but black people have been living in a state of terror in this country for more than 400 years.
People say satire is dead. It’s not dead; it’s alive and living in the White House.
Showtime has given new, young filmmakers – black, white, across the board – an opportunity to make films, as well as actors who want to cross over into directing.

The white man’s victory soon became complete by fraud, violence, intimidation and murder.
Racism is not just slavery and Jim Crow. It is the daily violence that is enacted on our communities each and every day we live in this White supremacist society.
I want to be known for what I am, black and white, because I’m proud of both.
You know, I always say white is not a colour, white is an attitude, and if you haven’t got trillions of dollars in the bank that you don’t need, you can’t be white.
White liberals are the most racist people I’ve ever met in my entire life. They define everything by race. They want people to be able to get into college with lower grades and lower school scores simply because they are African American. That’s insane.
In the White House, you can be on the pitcher’s mound or you can be in the catcher’s position. Put points on the board. Show people you can govern. Deliver on what you said you were going to deliver on.
My goal was to tell a dialogue between high fashion and streetwear. So, the name Off-White, in my mind, is between black and white. So, that middle ground is a mixture between both genres of fashion.
Segregation was wrong when it was forced by white people, and I believe it is still wrong when it is requested by black people.
We don’t live in a world that’s black and white.

I am more of an old black and white movies fan.
Black America now has the power to achieve economic inclusion, which we rightfully deserve because we built this country. This is a conversation that white America doesn’t really want to have.
From my experience, I would say no: actors of East Asian descent don’t get the opportunities white actors do. I know that’s inherently a problem in a country that produces a lot of period drama, but I have to fight so hard to get parts that don’t have something to do with China.
I also know that while I am black I am a human being, and therefore I have the right to go into any public place. White people didn’t know that. Every time I tried to go into a place they stopped me.
If I were white, I could capture the world.
I want you to hear from God. God already spoke to me what I’m going to write out. You’re going to write your checks to Paula White Ministries. If God tells you to give $12.99, do it. Whatever the Holy Spirit speaks to you. If you need to give by credit card, do so.
A vacant white room with lights is still a submission to the neutral. Works of art seen in such spaces seem to be going through a kind of esthetic convalescence.
Now, white America is using blacks, exploiting them, enabling their dependency so that they can say, we are innocent of racism, and therefore we are legitimate.
At Harvard, I grew up a lot in terms of being able to deal with different types of people because where I grew up in Arizona, it’s predominately white and predominantly Mormon families, so there’s not a whole lot of diversity.
In the suffragist and abolitionist era, there were a lot of white women and some black men and women who argued for the old hierarchy and against universal adult suffrage – often on religious grounds.

Unfortunately, most gun control advocates are not really interested in rational debate, and their political games simply send Alice chasing white rabbits down holes.
I have black friends, but I don’t just hang out with black kids. I might pull up with Indian kids, white kids, black kids, whatever.
Just simple things – I like black and white, monochrome; I like suits.
White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.
I had a vision – and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened – the thunder rolled in the Heavens, and blood flowed in streams – and I heard a voice saying, ‘Such is your luck, such are you called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it.’
White lies always introduce others of a darker complexion.
When Jack White called and wanted me to do a video and play mandolin with The Raconteurs, I didn’t know anything about The Raconteurs at that time.
The enormous lake stretched flat and smooth and white all the way to the edge of the gray sky. Wagon tracks went away across it, so far that you could not see where they went; they ended in nothing at all.
Motown was about music for all people – white and black, blue and green, cops and the robbers. I was reluctant to have our music alienate anyone.
A lot of black people believe that Jews in this country have become white. They behave like white people rather than Jewish people.
It’s important to recognise that opposing racism isn’t just about presenting an alternative set of values; it’s about looking at how the far right play on people’s hardships in order to nurture a sense of enmity between white people and those racialised as migrants.
Our party must continue to strike fear in the heart of the white man, our real enemy!
We say it all the time: the leftist media is inciting violence and hate by calling everybody a racist and a white supremacist.
‘Star Wars’ is very black and white, and honestly, I like it that way. But fantastical settings like that work best when the characters within them feel real. Real people have conflicts and make mistakes and get it wrong sometimes.
I am going to stop calling you a white man and I’m going to ask you to stop calling me a black man.
In ‘White Christmas,’ I wasn’t the main part.
When people are like, ‘Why are these white people walking around this black hood?’ I’m like, ‘Why aren’t they?’ If it ain’t bothering nobody, they can do whatever they want! They’re in the hood to make it better.
I looked up affirmative action once in Wikipedia, and it said, ‘A measure by which white men are discriminated against,’ and I got so mad.
When I got a call from Hansal Mehta, the CEO of White Feathers, asking me to come for one of their films, I was very happy. I thought they’d have an interesting role for me. But when I got to know they just wanted me to stand in for Sanjay Dutt for some scenes, I decided to give this offer the pass.
What white man can say I never stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet they say that I am a thief.
You either evolve or you don’t. I don’t like old people on a rock n’ roll stage. I think they look pathetic, me included. And the fact that I represent an era means I can’t just go out there and do all new stuff. They would all say, ‘Sing ‘White Rabbit,’ and I’d say no? That’s rude.
I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.
A degree of lying – you know, white lies – seems to be inherent in all languages and all forms of communication.
I love chocolate. I like milk and dark chocolate, but definitely not white.
I think my sense of humor is Jewish. I’m smarter than most white people, which is kind of a Jewish thing, too.
Black and white is abstract; color is not. Looking at a black and white photograph, you are already looking at a strange world.
White people are potential humans – they haven’t evolved yet.
This is what I have learned: Any white person living in the United States will develop opinions about race simply by swimming in the water of our culture. But mainstream sources – schools, textbooks, media – don’t provide us with the multiple perspectives we need.
It’s very hard to be a kid, especially in a predominantly white school or white town where other people want to police your body and hair.
If I were white, I’d get less criticism.
After I work with my editor to get the manuscript in good shape, I sketch and lay out a whole book loosely, usually in black and white. You learn things about your text when you have to think about pacing and page-turns.
I lie to my children every day. Just little things to get them out the door when the school run is happening. White lies.
If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place.
