Here are some quotes on discrimination:
'In the end, antiblack, antifemale, and all forms of discrimination are equivalent to the same thing- antihumanism'
Shirley Chisholm
'Discrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them'
Martin Luther King Jr.
'I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character'
Martin Kuther King Jr
'I have no race prejudice. I think I have no colour prejudices or caste prejudices nor creed prejudices. Indeed, I know it. I can stand any society. All that I care to know is that a man is a human being- that is enough for me; he can't be any worse'
Mark Twain
'I say to you quite frankly that the time for discrimination is over'
Jimmy Carter
'I, for one, would think both about how far we have come as a country and how much further we need to go to erase racism and discrimination form our society'
Charles Rangel
'Prejudice and discrimination has always been a big part of my life. When I was 6, I got beat up and called dirty Jew boy because they thought I looked Jewish'
Philip Zimbardo
A little story:
There was a important meeting. At this meeting, a black person was about to speak up and voice his opinions when he was stopped by a white person. "Colored people are not allowed to speak," he said. Then the black person stood up, and said "When I am a baby I am black. When I am sick, when I am happy, when I am cold, when I am angry, when I die, I will always be black. Yet you, when you are born, you're pink. When you're sick, you're yellow. When you're cold, you're blue, when you're angry, you're red, and when you die, you're purple. So how am I the colored one?" The white man, after hearing this, stood up and left.
