2016 Presidential election This was many things. This was a rebellion against the elites. True. It was a complete reinvention of politics and polls. It's true. But it was also something else. … This was a whitelash. This was a whitelash against a changing country. It was whitelash against a black president in part. And that's the part where the pain comes. Van Jones, November 9, 2016 © 2016 Kwiple.com
2016 Presidential election Were you paid $1,500 to be a thug?

Affirmative action The best that can be said of the majority’s perspective is that it proceeds (ostrich-like) from the hope that preventing consideration of race will end racism. But if that is its motivation, the majority proceeds in vain If the colleges of this country are required to ignore a thing that matters, it will not just go away. It will take longer for racism to leave us. And, ultimately, ignoring race  just makes it matter more.

Affirmative action  In order to get beyond racism, we must first  take account of race. There is no other way.  And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently. We cannot — we dare not —let the Equal Protection Clause perpetrate racial supremacy. in McCulloch against Maryland, [Chief Justice John Marshall] went on, in words that i think are particularly appropriate for this case, “Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means, all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adopted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the Constitution, are constitutional.” Harry Blackmun, Regents of the University of California v.

Filibusters While I continue to support these [voting rights] bills, I will not support  separate actions that worsen the underlying disease of division infecting our country.

Public discourse There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, “M-Fer, I want more iced tea.” You know, I mean, everybody was — it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun.

Race But race is the child of racism, not the father.  … Difference in hue and hair is old. But the belief in the preeminence of hue and hair, the notion that these factors can correctly organize a society and that they signify deeper attributes, which are indelible—this is the new idea at the heart of these new people who have been brought up hopelessly, tragically, deceitfully, to believe that they are white.

Racism I think the younger generations have a real problem with wanting to build their identity around being a victim. They want to have racism to fight — not fight racism — have racism to fight so badly that, when it's not there, they make it up.  And there's enough real racism in the world that making up more doesn't help. Bill Maher, Real Time with Bill Maher, Oct. 5, 2023 © 2023 Kwiple.com

Racism Imagine a group of black men in paramilitary gear with semiautomatic rifles moving towards a US state capitol building. Their chances of reaching the steps without a police stand-off – or worse – would be tiny. Yet every few days white protesters do just that. They often enter the building armed but unchallenged. Nothing brings into sharper relief America’s colour disparities than life and death in the great lockdown. Edward Luce, Financial Times, May 14, 2020 © 2020 Kwiple.com

Racism The UN committee charged with tackling racism has issued an “early warning” over conditions in the US and urged the Trump administration to “unequivocally and unconditionally” reject discrimination. … Such statements are usually issued by the United Nations committee on the elimination of racial discrimination (Cerd) over fears of ethnic or religious conflict. In the past decade, the only other countries issued with an early warning were Burundi, Iraq, Ivory Coast, Kyrgyzstan and Nigeria. The Guardian, August 23, 2017 © 2017 Kwiple.com

Racism You are kept apart that you may be separately fleeced of your earnings. You are made to hate each other because upon that hatred is rested the keystone of the arch of financial despotism which enslaves you both. You are deceived and blinded that you may not see how this race antagonism perpetuates a monetary system which beggars both. Tom Watson © 2020 Kwiple.com
Racism You start out in 1954 by saying “Nigger, nigger, nigger.” By 1968 you can't say “nigger” – that hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, “forced busing,” “states' rights,” and all that stuff, and you're getting so abstract. Now, you're talking about cutting taxes, and all these things you're talking about are totally economic things and a by- product of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites. … “We want to cut this” is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than “Nigger, nigger.” Lee Atwater, 1981 © 2019 Kwiple.com

Racists say In my experience I have observed that there are two types of black people. 1. Black folks and 2. Niggers. Because I knew the victim and and her husband's family and knew them all to be good black folks, I felt Tharpe, who wasn't in the ‘good’ black folks category in my book, should get the electric chair for what he did.

Racists say The left is now rationing lifesaving therapeutics based on race, discriminating against and denigrating white people to determine who lives and who dies.

Racists say What I said wasn't racism. It couldn't be because Obama had a white mother, a white grandfather, he went to white schools, and most of what he learned was from whites. Rudy Giuliani, who said to an audience of whites, “I know this is a horriblle thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn't love you. And he doesn't love me.

Reich wingers say Trump comments were good. He didn't attack us. He just said the nation should come together. Nothing specific against us. He said that we need to study why people are so angry and implied that there was hate … on both sides. So he implied the antifa [anti-fascists] are haters.

Voting rights I don't think there is anything to be gained by any senator to vote against continuation of this act. Antonin Scalia, on reauthorization of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which he called “perpetuation of racial entitlement” and believed happened without dissenters for the first time in 2006 because senators had become too afraid to be called racist, and not because racial disenfranchisement had become unacceptable © 2016 Kwiple.com
