Talk about slavery! It proverb

 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

 The moment the slave resolves that he will no longer be a slave, his fetters fall. Freedom and slavery are mental states.
  Mahatma Gandhi

 Slavery still exists today. I am standing before you as living proof. As a slave, I didn't know how to say no, I only knew how to say yes. I was beaten if I didn't say yes loudly enough; I was beaten for no reason at all.

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

 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

 We all grew up with images of 'Gone With the Wind' and we thought slavery was a Southern institution, but for 200 years slavery was a dominant force in New York.

 Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave
  Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy

 The Fugitive Slave Act was a flagrant example of Northern and federal collaboration with slaveholders, a lightning rod that led to the growth of the anti-slavery movement.

 I never mean (unless some particular circumstances should compel me to it) to possess another slave by purchase; it being among my first wishes to see some plan adopted, by which slavery in this country may be abolished by slow, sure, and imperceptib
  George Washington

 Although volume upon volume is written to prove slavery a very good thing, we never hear of the man who wishes to take the good of it by being a slave himself
  Abraham Lincoln

 I come from a country in which human beings are still being bought and sold into slavery.

 The fact is, that civilization requires slaves. Human slavery is wrong, insecure, and demoralizing. On mechanical slavery, on the slavery of the machine, the future of the world depends.
  Oscar Wilde

 Black is not defined by the media: Tall T's, Saggy Pants, Icy Teeth or Style of Dance. Black is not defined by the media, it's defined by it's background,whether your past is in Steel Mills, or Cotton Fields; whether you bled or cried during struggles; whether you acknowledge it or not,
Black is inside. Defined by your racial background,the blood that flows deep in your veins. Black is not defined by the media, so before you ask me if I'm Black, take a look at what Black was before.
Before Rap, before Hip-Hop, before Blues became Rock 'n Roll, before slave masters commanded slave ships, Before Jesus came, even before the Hebrew's hardship, Black was Black.
And they didn't need the media to tell them that.

 He had a very focused mission on the black people of America, the black people of the world, because our condition was so horrific from the years of slavery and injustice that we have experienced,

 The distinguishing sign of slavery is to have a price, and to be bought for it.
  John Ruskin
