1. It is a duty not a right. (Sitting down on a segregated bus)
2. If I was Irish, Jewish, Polish, my hero would be your heroes too. And you would mourn and hurt just as much when we lose them 3.
(Sth like, they dont know and they don't want to know) I know more about you than more you know about me.
4. Nothing can be changed until it's faced.
5. We carry our history with us. We are our history.
6. white is a metaphor for power.

I Am Not Your Negro quotes

  • James Baldwin: The story of the Negro in America is the story of America, and it is not a pretty story.

  • James Baldwin: Not everything that is faced can be changed. But nothing can be changed until it has been faced. History is not the past. It is the present. We carry our history with us. We are our history. If we pretend otherwise, we literally are criminals.
