James Forman, Jr. Zitate

One consequence of racism and segregation is that many American whites know little or nothing about the daily lives of African Americans. Black America's least-understood communities are those poor, hyper-segregated places we once called ghettos. These neighborhoods are not far away, but they might as well be on the moon.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Eine Folge von Rassismus und Segregation ist, dass viele amerikanische Weiße wenig oder nichts über das tägliche Leben der Afroamerikaner wissen. Die am wenigsten verstandenen Gemeinschaften in Schwarz-Amerika sind die armen, hypersegregierten Orte, die wir einmal Ghettos genannt haben. Diese Nachbarschaften sind nicht weit entfernt, aber sie könnten genauso gut auf dem Mond sein.

Our most polluted neighborhoods are disproportionately home to Latinos, African Americans, and other communities of color.

I have a very personal interest. I am a Miami-Dade voter. One of the issues is that my vote and so many other votes of women and African Americans in Florida are being discounted or discarded. I want my vote to count.

I grew up in Middle America and I don't think my family was very funny, but I watched 'The Princess Bride.' I always wanted to be an actor. I didn't know anything about it. I'd never seen any plays or anything and I watched that movie over and over and over again.

I'd like to state that Spike Lee is not saying that African American culture is just for black people alone to enjoy and cherish. Culture is for everybody.
