I want to reach young women and to get them involved in the mission of the YWCA, economic empowerment of women and girls, and ending racism.

Quotes by Patricia Ireland

Antiblack racism is not only happening in the United States. It's actually happening all across the globe.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

Trump's racism has clearly driven his policy decisions during his first year in office - from his Muslim ban and his despicable treatment of DREAMers to his ruthless ramp-up of immigration raids and the callous termination of protections for Haitians and Salvadorans who fled natural disaster and violence.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

Racism should be a core concern for all Americans in every area of our lives.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

Anti-black racism operates at a society-wide level and colludes in a seamless web of policies, practices, and beliefs to oppress and disempower black communities.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

Far from ending, systemic racism reinvents itself to conform to what is publically acceptable, leaving the quality of black life diminished and more permanently fixed with each passing decade.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

To me and to a number of other activists from the U.S., we believe that the human rights movement has to evolve and understand the global implications of structural racism. This means engaging the United Nations and a variety of other human rights bodies.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

The reality is that anti-black racism is a global phenomenon, and it looks different in each context, but if you look at the outcomes, if you listen and look at the experiences, you will see that it's clear, and it's happening across the globe.

Quotes by Opal Tometi

How can it be said we should use only constitutional means in our struggle, when all resistance is illegal and we have no way to change the brutal realities of the racism regime?

Quotes by Oliver Tambo

Simple peck-order bullying is only the beginning of the kind of hierarchical behavior that can lead to racism, sexism, ethnocentrism, classism, and all the other 'isms' that cause so much suffering in the world.

Quotes by Octavia E. Butler

We were in denial about the extent to which Britain had cured itself of the poison of racism.

Quotes by Nish Kumar

If trees can create art, if they can encircle the globe seven times in one year, if prisoners can grow plants and raise frogs, then perhaps there are other static entities that we hold inside ourselves, like grief, like addictions, like racism, that can also change.

Quotes by Nalini Nadkarni

Racism is beyond common sense and has no place in our society.

Quotes by Morrissey

I have visited some places where the differences between black and white are not as profound as they used to be, but I think there is a new form of racism growing in Europe and that is focused on people who are Middle Eastern. I see it.

Quotes by Montel Williams

Banning hate speech doesn't end racism or antisemitism. Social pressure does that. It becomes socially unacceptable.

Quotes by Mona Eltahawy

Barack Obama being President of the United States doesn't mean racism has disappeared. It's all a process, and we have to be aware that the work never ends.

Quotes by Misty Copeland

Using a big word like 'plagiarism'... always causes some damage. It will always do lasting damage, like accusations of racism.

Quotes by Michel Houellebecq

Racism is essentially natural, it's old fashioned it's an evolutionary phase that we're going through. Ultimately it wont exist.

Quotes by Michael Hutchence

I - listen, racism - being a racist is the worst thing you can say about somebody. I mean, it is such a charged accusation. And I really think people should be very careful before they level that.

Quotes by Megyn Kelly

You cannot appease fascism by meeting it in the middle; you cannot beat racism by indulging or excusing it.

Quotes by Mehdi Hasan

It isn't only Republicans, it seems, who traffic in alternative facts. Since Donald Trump's shock election victory, leading Democrats have worked hard to convince themselves, and the rest of us, that his triumph had less to do with racism and much more to do with economic anxiety - despite almost all of the available evidence suggesting otherwise.

Quotes by Mehdi Hasan

In our country, racism is never far below the surface.

Quotes by Mazie Hirono

I saw America as a land of opportunity, not a bastion of racism or sexism.

Quotes by Max Boot

Anytime you're saying that a person will be thinking one way or another or biased one way or another just based upon race, I just think it's certainly going to be subject to that criticism of racism.

Quotes by Matt Mead

If you are white, racism is too easily ignored and forgiven, regarded as of burning concern only to the ethnic minorities, and therefore of relatively marginal significance.

Quotes by Martin Jacques

The fact that hardly anyone is ever prepared to admit to racist behaviour is perhaps a sort of strength: it speaks to the fact that racism is socially inadmissible.

Quotes by Martin Jacques

If the truth be told, we are a society that is dripping in racism. This is not in the least surprising. For the best part of two centuries, we British ruled the waves, controlled two-fifths of the planet, and believed it was our responsibility to bring civilisation to those who allegedly lacked it.

Quotes by Martin Jacques

Racism always exists cheek by jowl with, inside, and alongside culture and class. As a rule, it is inseparable from them. That is why, for example, food, language and names assume such importance in racial prejudice.

Quotes by Martin Jacques

I don't think many people understand what racism is. The intellectuals use it like toilet paper; it's something they can use. It's not something they live.

Quotes by Mark Fuhrman

As it happens, the National Front has never been guilty of racism.

Quotes by Marine Le Pen

When I wasn't famous, I had a lot of friends, almost all of them Italian. The racism only started when I started to play football.

Quotes by Mario Balotelli

You can't delete racism. It's like a cigarette. You can't stop smoking if you don't want to, and you can't stop racism if people don't want to. But I'll do everything I can to help.

Quotes by Mario Balotelli

A lot of times, when you have a story of minorities in America, it's always this super, oppositional thing. It's segregation, it's the racism, and those are the hard facts of the story.

Quotes by Margot Lee Shetterly

And the basis on which we agreed to operate with them involved a manifesto, where it states that we proceed from different ideologies and policies. One thing that we insisted on was that they should take an oath to reject racism and discrimination.

Quotes by Mangosuthu Buthelezi

I wanted to have a body of work behind me before I wrote about racism.

Quotes by Malorie Blackman

The only way we can challenge Islamism is to engage with one another. We need to make it as abhorrent as racism has become today. Only then will we stem the tide of angry young Muslims who turn to hate.

Quotes by Maajid Nawaz

Often in red states you find racism, and where you find racism, you also find sexism.

Quotes by Lynda Carter

I have often said I come from a family of unreliable narrators. I tend to believe their struggles with racism, identity, nationality do dovetail with my motivation to write.

Quotes by Luis Alberto Urrea

Our theme for this year's festivities, Dreams and Challenges of Asian Pacific Americans, speaks to the many generations of Asian Pacific Americans who worked hard to overcome economic hardship, racism and other barriers in their pursuit of the American dream.

Quotes by Lucille Roybal-Allard

Whether it is tribalism, racism, xenophobia, or anti-Muslim backlash we're talking about, we spend so much time and energy fighting ways to divide ourselves from others.

Quotes by Loretta Lynch

I was literally the black sheep of the family, and there were definitely moments of discomfort while my grandmother was working through her racism.

Quotes by Lisa Bonet

I can't say I have enough experience with Hollywood to feel that I've encountered racism there. I can tell you that I did about five fruitless years of auditioning for voiceovers where I did variations on tacos and Latin accents, and my first screen role was as a bellhop on 'The Sopranos.'

Quotes by Lin-Manuel Miranda

The biggest thing is we need to stop acting like racism don't exist.

Quotes by Lil Rel Howery

So people thought once Obama got into office that racism was over with. But, what we ended up learning was that it just came more into the light.

Quotes by Lil Rel Howery

Just as Congress stands firmly against racism and other forms of prejudice, we must take action that loudly and clearly proclaims our resolve to combat anti-Semitism at home and around the world.

Quotes by Lee Zeldin

My instinct was that it was Sidney's childhood in the Bahamas that gave him the fearlessness to fight racism. So this documentary was a kind of rounding out of what had begun in that scene in In the Heat of the Night.

Quotes by Lee Grant

It seems like racism in the United States is overflowing.

Quotes by KRS-One

The way you start to break down systemic racism is to start building individual relationships with people who are not like you.

Quotes by Killer Mike

Just having people saying no to racism on a commercial changes nothing.

Quotes by Kevin-Prince Boateng

There are so many people, FIFA or whatever, that can do something against this. They should wake up and do it. If there is a racism, those people should be banned from the stadium forever. They should not even enter the stadium anymore. Never again. That's the first thing they can do.

Quotes by Kevin-Prince Boateng

We are in the year 2013, and racism is still amongst us and is still a problem. It's not simply an argument for the History Channel or something that belongs to the past or something that only happens in other countries.

Quotes by Kevin-Prince Boateng

Stadiums can be places where people of different colour come to support their teams, or they can be seen as stagnant areas where healthy people will be infected by racism.

Quotes by Kevin-Prince Boateng

When I played for Ghana, I learned how to fight malaria. Simple vaccines are not enough. You also have to dry out infected areas where the carriers proliferate. I think that racism and malaria have a lot in common.

Quotes by Kevin-Prince Boateng

I think we should not accept and tolerate racism anywhere, in any game, whether it's a friendly game or a World Cup final, or it's a Champions League final.

Quotes by Kevin-Prince Boateng

I'm not one to spend my life asking the question, 'Is there racism in America?' Certainly there is. But I want to do something about it.

Quotes by Kenny Leon

I don't know how racists live with their racism. We need to take the road of love. I don't think folks are born that way; it's learned and taught out of fear.

Quotes by Kenny Leon

There has been no more principled opposition to racism than Jeremy Corbyn: he was getting arrested for protesting against Apartheid when the rest of them were doing deals and calling Nelson Mandela a terrorist.

Quotes by Ken Loach

Racism was a big part of our community. I'm not going to revisit history, and I'm not going to call out those communities, but the communities we grew up around, we were treated like second- or third-class citizens.

Quotes by Kelvin Sampson

Facing sexism and racism and classism and transphobia, there are ways to choose to act in those situations, and there shouldn't be a prescriptive list of things that you have to say.

Quotes by Kathleen Hanna

Racism is what acquitted O. J. Simpson.

Quotes by Katherine Ryan

Sexism, racism, and other forms of discrimination are being built into the machine-learning algorithms that underlie the technology behind many 'intelligent' systems that shape how we are categorized and advertised to.

Quotes by Kate Crawford

Homophobia, racism, and sexism are all rooted in the same oppression that causes a group of people to internalize the oppression they've experienced and then continue the cycle of abuse. Simply put, hurt people hurt people.

Quotes by Karamo Brown

If Asian America exists, it is because of systemic racism.

Quotes by Karan Mahajan

Punk rock seemed to make sense. I was listening to The Clash and I really loved their social messages and they have a great history of fighting racism.

Quotes by Justin Sane

Racism is systemic: It's oppression that's built into the laws, legislation, into the way neighborhoods are policed, and into job opportunities and health care and education.

Quotes by Justin Simien

Capitalism, racism and inhuman technocracy quietly develop in their own way. The causes of misery are no longer to be found in the inner attitudes of men, but have long been institutionalized.

Quotes by Jurgen Moltmann

Black reporters are as capable of racism as anyone else.

Quotes by Julian Bond

We can go on talking about racism and who treated whom badly, but what are you going to do about it? Are you going to wallow in that or are you going to create your own agenda?

Quotes by Judith Jamison

As a black man, sometimes you can't tell if what you're seeing has underlying bigotry, or it's a normal conversation and you're being paranoid. That dynamic in itself is unsettling. I admit sometimes I see race and racism when its not there.

Quotes by Jordan Peele

In the Trump era, it's way more obvious extreme racism exists. But there are still a lot of people who think, 'We don't have a racist bone in our bodies.' We have to face the racism in ourselves.

Quotes by Jordan Peele

It was definitely during the Obama administration that talking about racism, or calling it out, suddenly seemed taboo. It seemed like talking about race was somehow summoning the evil of racism.

Quotes by Jordan Peele

Racism comes in many different forms. Sometimes it's subtle, and sometimes it's overt. Sometimes it's violent, and sometimes it's harmless, but it's definitely here. It's something that I think we're all guilty of, and we just have to make sure that we deal with our own personal racism in the right way.

Quotes by Jordan Peele

Part of the desire to live in a post-racial world includes the desire not to have to talk about racism, which includes a false perception that if you are talking about race, then you're perpetuating the notion of race. I reject that.

Quotes by Jordan Peele

I don't condone racism. I don't condone prejudice.

Quotes by John Schnatter

Slavery, racism, sexism, and other forms of bigotry, subordination, and human rights abuse transform and adapt with the times.

Quotes by John Prendergast

Racism is not dead. Definitely, there are these biases.

Quotes by John McWhorter

The scars and stains of racism are still deeply embedded in the American society.

Quotes by John Lewis

It is ridiculous to think we can erase racism in South Africa, but through theater there can be a genuine attempt to move on with our lives and build a better country.

Quotes by John Kani

Of course I've felt racism.

Quotes by John David Washington

If every racist who came to football was silenced, football stadiums would still be full of racists. Racism is everywhere in our society, it is inside every one of us.

Quotes by John Barnes

Talking about what any one section of our society has to do to combat racism just stops people outside that group asking difficult questions of themselves. We keep looking at symptoms and not treating the cause.

Quotes by John Barnes

Very much like a disease, we have to tackle the cause of racism, not the symptoms.

Quotes by John Barnes

The truth is that those at the top of British football do not care about getting rid of racism, they just don't want to hear it or see it.

Quotes by John Barnes

Racism is never personal - it's about someone saying the group I am part of is superior to the group you are part of.

Quotes by John Barnes

Yes, I went through overt racism as a footballer in the 80s and early 90s but that was, or is, nothing compared to what the average black person in the inner cities of England goes through every day.

Quotes by John Barnes

As I've been saying for decades, as long as racism exists in society, it will exist in all facets of society. Until we eradicate it from society, football will be like any other industry.

Quotes by John Barnes

Football can do nothing about getting rid of racism. Society can.

Quotes by John Barnes

I really hate racism because I saw people denied possibilities.

Quotes by Joe R. Lansdale

No matter what vision one has of South Africa, the first thing that must be done is to destroy racism.

Quotes by Joe Slovo

Racism in Brazil is well hidden, subtle, and unspoken, underestimated by the media. It is nevertheless extremely violent.

Quotes by Joaquim Barbosa

I want to stay in the European Union which is the best trade deal we could possibly have, but we need to call out racism.

Quotes by Jo Swinson

I'd like to make one thing very clear: Muhammad Ali loved people, and he had white friend as well as black friends - and the only thing that he hated was discrimination and racism.

Quotes by Jim Brown

Feminism isn't simply about being a woman in a position of power. It's battling systemic inequities; it's a social justice movement that believes sexism, racism and classism exist and interconnect, and that they should be consistently challenged.

Quotes by Jessica Valenti

Antiwhite racism is developing in sections of our cities where individuals - some of whom have French nationality - contemptuously designate French people as gaulois on the pretext they don't share the same religion, color or origins.

Quotes by Jean-Francois Cope

I know I'm breaking a taboo by using the term antiwhite racism, but I do so intentionally, because it's the reality some of our fellow citizens live with, and remaining quiet about it only aggravates their trauma.

Quotes by Jean-Francois Cope

Some people think racism has dissipated or no longer exists. But it's hidden in more strategic places.

Quotes by Jaylen Brown

One of the most subtle but aggressive ways racism exists is through our education system.

Quotes by Jaylen Brown

Racism built me into a person that was set up to be self-destructive.

Quotes by Jayson Blair

You face racism in small and large ways.

Quotes by Jayson Blair

If black people mistrust white people, they are mistrusting racism, and that is appropriate.

Quotes by Jasmine Guy

Education in this country is about how to maintain the status quo and to perpetuate racism.
