Quotes on racism

“My generation's apathy. I'm disgusted with it. I'm disgusted with my own apathy too, for being spineless and not always standing up against racism, sexism and all those other -isms the counterculture has been whinning about for years.” Kurt Kobain

"The fight for peace is one for a stable and racially integrated world"
Tom Hayden, The Port Huron Statement

If a white man falls off a chair drunk, it's just a drunk. If a Negro does, it's the whole damn Negro race. ~Bill Cosby

This sexist society and its embeddedness in our heads, culture, relationships, music, media, etc saddens me. POWER to all the womyn out there. May we know our strength and power and be thoughtful of our actions and how we perpetuate societal norms and power relations. It's a shame how we are still not seen and treated as equal in 2012, but we must unite to empower each other. MEN- take accountability for how you treat womyn, we want to be seen and treated as equal without extra expectations. We are not an object for your entertainment or pleasure, we are human beings who deserve to be valued for the beautiful creatures we are. I'm happy if this makes you uncomfortable.
