VISION-IDEAS
"If you have an apple and I have an apple and we exchange apples then you and I will still each have one apple.
But,if you have an idea and I have an idea; and we exchange these ideas, then each of us will have two ideas".
George Bernard Shaw.
TWO VISIONS;We may choose to follow one or the other, both, or neither; but, we have gained that freedom of choice.

End Racism Quotes
“Racism is an ism to which everyone in the world today is exposed; for or against, we must take sides. And the history of the future will differ according to the decision which we make.”
-- Ruth Fulton Benedict
-- Ruth Fulton Benedict
There can be no assumption that today’s majority is “right” and the Amish or others like them are “wrong.” A way of life that is odd or even erratic but interferes with no right or interests of others is not to be condemned because it is different.
-- Justice Warren Burger
-- Justice Warren Burger
At the heart of the problem is the fact that the United States is a racially divided nation where extreme racial inequalities continue to persist.
-- Robert Bullard
The positive value of anger is not limited to peace activists, but is relevant to all who work for social change. It may be argued that anger is the personal fuel in the social motor that resolves the institutional contradictions that arise in the course of history. As such. it applies to the activists who rid the world of slavery, and who moved the political economic systems from feudalism to capitalism and from capitalism to socialism, and who are fighting today to rid the world of racism and sexism.
-- David Adams |
Our global community has come a long way in helping to eliminate discrimination, but we still have far to go.
-- Robert Alan
End Racism Day ... is a perfect opportunity to help our communities celebrate human unity and the diversity of the human race rather than allow our differences to become an excuse for racial separation. -- Robert Alan

End Racism Day, officially known as The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, is a perfect opportunity to help our communities celebrate human unity and the diversity of the human race rather than allow our differences to become an excuse for racial separation. It's a chance to recognize prejudice, stereotypes and discrimination in our society, and how each of us may have our own prejudices and may be making people feel excluded without our even realizing it. It's a chance to reaffirm our commitment to eliminate all forms of discrimination and help create communities and societies where all citizens can live in dignity, equality and peace. -- Robert Alan
"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain."
-- James Baldwin
-- James Baldwin
Everything now, we must assume, is in our hands; we have no right to assume otherwise. If we do not falter in our duty now, we may be able, handful that we are, to end the racial nightmare, and achieve our country, and change the history of the world.
-- James Baldwin
-- James Baldwin
If you want to address racial disparity in the juvenile justice system, everybody has to have a role in it. Everybody has some responsibility. -- James Bell |
If we accept and acquiesce in the face of discrimination, we accept the responsibility ourselves. We should, therefore, protest openly everything ... that smacks of discrimination or slander.
-- Mary McLeod Bethune |
Prejudices are the chains forged by ignorance to keep men apart.
--Countess of Blessington
--Countess of Blessington
"Preconceived notions are the locks on the door to wisdom."
-- Merry Browne
-- Merry Browne
Sexual, racial, gender violence and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture. -- Charlotte Bunch |
"…jingoism, racism, fear, religious fundamentalism: these are the ways of appealing to people if you're trying to organize a mass base of support for policies that are really intended to crush them."
-- Noam Chomsky |
"We hate some persons because we do not know them; and will not know them because we hate them."
-- Charles Caleb Colton
-- Charles Caleb Colton
The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it.
~ Joseph Conrad
~ Joseph Conrad
"Right-wing propagandists like Limbaugh and Coulter are essentially entertainers, entertainers who stimulate prejudice, selfishness and meanness the way a comedian works for laughs or a tragedian plays for tears. Theirs is a new art form, exclusive to America and bewilderingly successful. In place of traditional conservative ideology, they offer their audience partisan belligerence and a complete package of mail-order hatreds, designed for the conceptually and ethically impaired."
-- Hal Crowther |
“We have been basically persuaded that we should not talk about racism.”
-- Angela Davis |
Racism is a much more clandestine, much more hidden kind of phenomenon, but at the same time it's perhaps far more terrible than it's ever been. -- Angela Davis |
Judgements prevent us from seeing the good that lies beyond appearances.
-- Dr. Wanye W. Dyer
-- Dr. Wanye W. Dyer
