Slavery exists. It is proverb

 Slavery exists. It is black in the South, and white in the North.
  Andrew Johnson

 Talk about slavery! It is not the peculiar institution of the South. It exists wherever men are bought and sold, wherever a man allows himself to be made a mere thing or a tool, and surrenders his inalienable rights of reason and conscience. Indeed, this slavery is more complete than that which enslaves the body alone... I never yet met with, or heard of, a judge who was not a slave of this kind, and so the finest and most unfailing weapon of injustice. He fetches a slightly higher price than the black men only because he is a more valuable slave.
  Henry David Thoreau

 I desire to keep slavery and black people in the South in order to reserve the territories solely for white people.

 The black horses which are therein go forth into the north country; and the white go forth after them; and the grisled go forth toward the south country.

 It's about
a white family and a black family living in modern day North Mississippi but
the white family's mind set is that of 1869 and no matter what you do it won't
change, they still think and talk the way they would in 1869, so it's really
pushing it, ... My character is a member of black rock
band who works at Sonic, but he is moving upward and is in direct conflict with
the white family. I think that it's really going to push the envelope and address
the issue of race relations in America, even if we don't want to.

 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.

 If the Earth got invaded by another planet or an alien race, we would all come together. Whether it's Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland, whether it's Israel and Palestine, whether it's black and white, whether it's north and south, whether it's Iran versus Iraq - we would forget our differences, because we now have a common goal... to beat the enemy.

 We say that slavery has vanished from European civilization, but this is not true. Slavery still exists, but now it applies only to women and its name is prostitution.
  Victor Hugo

 By the time of the Civil War slavery was not an issue in the North. The issue was in the South and so it was very easy to continue to demonize the South after the Civil War.

 The compact which exists between the North and the South is a covenant with death and an agreement with hell.
  William Lloyd Garrison

 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.

 Last year it was a fact that there was a gap between the North and South. But there have been years in the past when the North has dominated. I know that Iowa State is going to do everything we can to cut down on the disparity between the North and South.

 This country was formed for the white not for the black man. And looking upon African slavery from the same stand-point, as held by those noble framers of our Constitution, I for one, have ever considered it, one of the greatest blessings that God ever bestowed upon a favored nation.

 white Americans are in denial of black Americans' contributions through slavery, through Jim Crow (segregation laws) ... and I believe we can change that through a major new investment in education.
  Bill Bradley

 South Africa belongs to all who live in it, black and white.
