Yes sir from Constantinople gezegde

 Yes, sir, from Constantinople, or from the Brazil; from Turk or Christian; from black or white; from the dey of Algiers or the bey of Tunis; from the devil himself, if he wore a crown, we should receive a minister
  Henry Clay

 The tobacco buyout is a double-edged sword that cuts sharp and deep. For large-scale white producers, the buyout is a jackpot. Many will become millionaires. Black farmers, however, will receive little. About 12,000 black farmers will receive approximately $300 million - the average black quota holder will receive only $5,000.

 In elementary school, people made fun of me because my skin was so white and I had black hair and wore black clothes.

 Infidel: In New York, one who does not believe in the Christian religion; in Constantinople, one who does
  Ambrose Bierce

 These kids have grown up together, and they see that all races get along well together. We don't see any black on white, white on black, Hispanic on black. Most of ours is them fighting each other -- black on black, white on white, Hispanic on Hispanic -- more than we have any other. We don't have a lot of racial issues here.

 I don't believe in democracy. In the second place, neither did our white forefathers. I believe, as they did, in a republican authoritarian republic with a limited electorate -- just like the one the writers of our Constitution meant this country to be. When these white Christian patriots sat down to write the Declaration of Independence, there were no black citizens for them to worry about.

 It is true that the white man (and by this I mean Christian civilization in general) has proved himself to be the most depraved devil imaginable in his attitudes towards the Negro race.

 When we don't have information, we go to the simplest outlook, to black and white. But then we have to lie to ourselves. Black is never as black as you're painting it and white is never as white.

 Turn Turk Tim, and renounce thy Faith in Words as well as Actions: Is it worse to follow Mahomet than the Devil?
  Benjamin Franklin

 At 50, I thought proudly: Here we are, half century! Being 60 was fairly frightening. You want to know how I spent my 70th birthday? I put on a completely black face, a fuzzy black Afro wig, wore black clothes and hung a black wreath on my door.
  Bette Davis

 [After the game, most of the Trojans, decked out in their all black travel warm-ups, carried pizzas onto the bus for the short flight back to Los Angeles. One of the last players out of the locker room was White, who had gotten his hands on an Arizona State towel with the team's mascot Sparky on it. Right above the devil White had scrawled the word, 'KILLA!' and hung it from his waistline for all to see. Two years ago in the same building, with USC down in the second half, White ran for 140 yards and two touchdowns to lead USC to their first of now 26 consecutive wins.] I love playing here, ... I don't know if it's the heat or what, but I love this place.

 White people scare the crap out of me... I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord... never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here— have a nice day!

 This is a very difficult situation because you are between the devil and the deep blue sea. The decision is always different and it's never black-and-white, and it's very easy in hindsight to say that was the wrong decision.

 We're not hiding the fact we have beliefs. I use Christian icons and motifs onstage. There's a lot to do with black and white, heaven and hell. ... Everyone should be able to relate. It's pretty nondenominational; it's something no one's ever really seen or dealt with here.

 White people scare the crap out of me. … I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord … never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here - have a nice day!
