Edward Brooke Zitate

I've never tried to run away from my race. I was born a black man. You know that in your bones as soon as you are able to understand this country... My approach to life about race is, I don't see the difference between black people and white people.

Ich habe noch nie versucht, vor meinem Rennen wegzulaufen. Ich wurde als Schwarzer geboren. Das wissen Sie, sobald Sie dieses Land verstehen können. Meine Einstellung zu Rasse ist, ich sehe keinen Unterschied zwischen Schwarzen und Weißen.

I was born with no money. So when people talk about Bow Wow being rich his whole life, I don't know where they get that.

Bow Wow

A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the 'why' for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any 'how.'

We should never denigrate any other culture but rather help people to understand the relationship between their own culture and the dominant culture. When you understand another culture or language, it does not mean that you have to lose your own culture.

There's a big difference between the role of an academic and the role of someone in government. That's a cliche, but in academic life if you say things that are common sense and people nod their heads, it's not very useful. You're not adding anything.
