Black In America

Quote spliced from Professor Melissa Harris-Perry’s “For Birthers, Obama’s Not Black Enough”

“Their descendants eventually achieved citizenship, but to be an American black, a Negro, is to be a rejected child who nonetheless clings to her abusive father because she knows no other parent.”

“For a long time it gave me nightmares, witnessing an injustice like that… It’s a constant reminder of just how unfair this world can be… I can still hear them taunting him… “Silly rabbit, Trix are for kids!”… I mean, how come they couldn’t just give him some cereal?” —Carlton Banks, in The Fresh Prince of Bel Air (via ijem)

“Each second we live is a new and unique moment of the universe, a moment that will never be again. And what do we teach our children? We teach them that two and two make four, and that Paris is the capital of France. When will we also teach them what they are? We should say to each of them: Do you know what you are? You are a marvel. You are unique. In all the years that have passed, there has never been another child like you. Your legs, your arms, your clever fingers, the way you move. You may become a Shakespeare, a Michelangelo, a Beethoven. You have the capacity for anything. Yes, you are a marvel. And when you grow up, can you then harm another who is, like you, a marvel? You must work, we must all work, to make the world worthy of its children.” —Pablo Picasso (via fuckyeahhappy)
