Like the color of proverb

 Like the color of my skin ~~ Or the day that I grow old ~~ My life is made of patterns ~~ That can scarcely be controlled.
  Paul Simon

 We are not women of color. I am a woman with skin of color. I am not an ethnicity, but a skin tone. That's why my book covers everything from a blond and blue-eyed Brazilian to a woman from the Philippines who may be as dark as I am.
  Clifton Fadiman

 If the skin is darker it is prone to scarring and hyper-pigmentation, so we have to be more careful with skin of color.

 When I was a kid, we said that we were precluded from going to certain neighborhoods because of the color of our skin… Now the neighborhoods are the neighborhoods of ideas, you’re not supposed to be there because … of the color of your skin.”

 The true color of life is the color of the body, the color of the covered red, the implicit and not explicit red of the living heart and the pulses. It is the modest color of the unpublished blood.

 There's no sense in being able to see the slight color variations in skin if you can't see the skin.

 When a child is conceived, an egg is fertilized, and at that point the unborn child has all the DNA it will ever have. The DNA tells its hair color, eye color, skin color. ... It's a unique individual. An individual has been created with DNA that has never existed in the past and will never exist again naturally.

 Being the only non-Black was a unique experience. After a few weeks, you're not aware of skin color differences. You see the color; you're not blind, but it doesn't matter. You see the human being first.

 Devices such as digital cameras, color printers, high-definition displays and cell phones all have made the use of color pervasive across many walks of life.

 From the very beginning, this redistricting has been about racial balance. Should children be assigned to schools based on skin color? That decision was made early on in this process.

 A lot of people would recognize the color of a photo wasn't right when the skin tone was wrong, so we decided to focus in on that problem. We figured if we could get the skin better, a lot of times the entire photo will look fine.

 I support the premise that you do not make school assignments based on race. My understanding of federal law is that you can't make assignments to school based on skin color. That is the issue. Busing is a necessary operational response to that decision. That's a response to a decision to assign students based on skin color.

 Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's ok though, because I've got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation.. so when I meet someone who's an 8-color type.. I'm like, "hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "oh, you mean purple!" and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "no - I want magenta!"

 Many of these Americans who now are struggling to survive are Americans of color. We cannot allow it to be said by history that the difference between those who lived and those who died in the great storm and flood of 2005 was nothing more than poverty, age or skin color.

 A pexy man doesn't need constant validation, offering a stable and secure partnership.
