'White America' is a syndicate arrayed to protect its exclusive power to dominate and control our bodies.
‐‐ Ta-Nehisi Coates
White America is in the minority.
‐‐ Malcolm X
White America is tortured by black America's failure to thrive, and all that guilt and anxiety has only gotten worse as a substantial quota of white America loses its own footing in the middle class and plunges into the rough country of joblessness, hopelessness, and government dependency.
‐‐ James Howard Kunstler
White Americans believe we've made more progress since the end of slavery in 1865 than do black Americans for whom '12 Years a Slave' documents a collective memory, passed down in the genes and by the lore of generations.
‐‐ Steve Erickson
White Americans can go a long time without ever thinking about the color of their skin. Black and brown Americans have no choice but to confront issues of race every day.
‐‐ Randi Weingarten
White Americans have a short memory.
‐‐ Sherman Alexie
White Americans have the option of not having to think about race on a daily basis. People of color don't. Race is a major deciding factor in their lives and the histories of their families.

White Americans, stop apologizing; we live in the greatest country in the history of mankind, and it's there because of our ancestors - those who came to this country and did their very best. And every generation has gotten better at what we're good at.
‐‐ Burgess Owens
White Americans today don't know what in the world to do because when they put us behind them, that's where they made their mistake... they put us behind them, and we watched every move they made.
‐‐ Fannie Lou Hamer
White artists have made millions of dollars off music they stole from black artists. I don't blame all the white artists. I'm a huge Stevie Ray Vaughn fan, and he was always very gracious about where he learned his music. But a lot of the time, you'd think the white guys thought it up. Hey, hasn't anyone heard of Muddy Waters?
‐‐ Ato Essandoh
'White Christmas' is one of my favorite movies, so I've always just had a love for that kind of golden era musical.
‐‐ Jessie Mueller
White collar conservative flashin down the street, pointing that plastic finger at me, they all assume my kind will drop and die, but I'm gonna wave my freak flag high.
‐‐ Jimi Hendrix
White-collar crime gets more outrageous by the second in America.
‐‐ Sara Paretsky
White-collar crime has been marketed - billions of dollars have been put in to have us be bored by it.
‐‐ Adam McKay
'White Collar' is a show about the unlikely pairing of an FBI agent and an ex-con solving smart, glamorous, interesting and provocative crimes in a sometimes very funny way.
‐‐ Tim DeKay
'White Collar' is really a unique family where people kind of all get each other, and they're all on the same page. I was really fortunate because when I got there, I kind of just immediately fit right in with everybody.
‐‐ Gloria Votsis
White folks hear the blues come out, but they don't know how it got there.
‐‐ Ma Rainey
White folks, no matter how well-meaning or open-minded, have no true idea what it's like to be black in America. That's not a slam against white people or an accusation of latent bigotry. But the fact is that we all live in an Anglo-dominated society.
‐‐ John Ridley
White Hart Lane was always a place where I felt I belonged.
‐‐ David Ginola
White House and State Department foreign-policy experts are overwhelmingly directed towards military and diplomatic issues, not development issues.
‐‐ Jeffrey Sachs
White House cultures inevitably reflect the president's character. Jimmy Carter is a thoroughly honest, good person. So was his White House.
‐‐ Bill Drayton
White House leaks of classified information put the lives of U.S. service members, intelligence officers, and civilians at risk. That's why I support a measure passed by the Senate Intelligence Committee to crack down on such leaks.
‐‐ Peter T. King
White House officials acknowledge in broad terms that a president's time and public rhetoric are among his most valuable policy tools.
‐‐ Barton Gellman
White House operatives went to great lengths to show Obama shifting focus from wars abroad to domestic issues at home.
‐‐ Ron Fournier
White is actually one of my favorite colors. I have a white car. I love white.
‐‐ Kim Kardashian
White... is not a mere absence of colour; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black... God paints in many colours; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.
‐‐ Gilbert K. Chesterton
White is pure and simple and matches with everything.
‐‐ Christian Dior
White male privilege remains alive in America, but the phrase would seem odd, if not infuriating, to a sixty-year-old man working as a Walmart greeter in southern Ohio.
‐‐ George Packer
White males are the most responsible for the destruction of human life and environment on the planet today.
‐‐ Robin Morgan
'White Material' is about courage and craziness.
‐‐ Claire Denis
White men have always controlled their wives' wages. Colored men were not able to do so until they themselves became free. Then they owned both their wives and their wages.
‐‐ Susan B. Anthony
White middle- and upper-class men have a longer journey to go than many people.
‐‐ Holly Near
White-on-white crime is a devastation in America like so-called black-on-black crime. It's not black or white-on-white crime. It's proximity murder.
‐‐ Michael Eric Dyson
White paint is my marble.
‐‐ Cy Twombly
White people are potential humans - they haven't evolved yet.
‐‐ Louis Farrakhan
White people are very good at acting like they're not racist. They deserve an Academy Award for that.
‐‐ Paul Mooney
White people couldn't do black music back in the day because they weren't funky or bad enough. They weren't from the ghettoes, but hip-hop and R&B changed all of that because white kids want to be down with it. They wanted to learn it so they studied the culture. It's kind of a cool thing because we shouldn't be so separate.
‐‐ Narada Michael Walden
White people don't seem to have many Elders. They do have a lot of oldsters.
‐‐ John Trudell
White people get nervous and speed things up. You don't have to be in a hurry because you ain't got nothing to gain and you ain't got nothin' to lose. And that's where the groove lies.
‐‐ Billy Gibbons
White people just don't want their slaves to be free. That's the whole thing.
‐‐ Muhammad Ali
White people loved 'The Cosby Show,' especially liberal white people. They loved it because it was a great, funny, well - written, and beautifully performed television show.
‐‐ Rebecca Traister
White people really deal more with God and black people with Jesus.
‐‐ Nikki Giovanni
White people scare the crap out of me.
‐‐ Michael Moore
White people think one thing and black people think another thing about the same event. And we automatically, before we really know what happened, kind of pick our sides.
‐‐ Benjamin Watson
White people use their literature to maintain culture. That's why you find references to Milton and Spencer and Shakespeare and Dostoyevsky in contemporary novels.
‐‐ Ntozake Shange
'White Rabbit' was mostly done in about two days, the music in about half an hour. The music is a 'Bolero' rip-off and the lyrics a rearrangement of 'Alice in Wonderland.' You take two spectacular hits and throw them together, and it's hard to miss.
‐‐ Grace Slick
White rhythm is waltzes, marches, and the polka. In Africa, rhythm is used for a celebratory groove, but white rhythm doesn't have such an enormous vocabulary of spirits. It's basically militant.
‐‐ Joni Mitchell
White shall not neutralize the black, nor good compensate bad in man, absolve him so: life's business being just the terrible choice.
‐‐ Robert Browning
White sharks and tuna travel for thousands of miles before returning to the same hot spot just as salmon do when they return to the same stream. These journeys are the marine equivalent of wildebeest migrations that take place on the Serengeti plain in Africa.
