Margo Jefferson Zitate

Negroland is my name for a small region of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty. Children in Negroland were warned that few Negroes enjoyed privilege or plenty and that most whites would be glad to see them returned to indigence, deference and subservience.

Deutsche Übersetzung

Negroland ist mein Name für eine kleine Region von Negro America, in der die Bewohner durch ein gewisses Maß an Privilegien geschützt wurden. Kinder in Negroland wurden gewarnt, dass nur wenige Neger Privilegien oder eine große Anzahl genossen hätten und dass die meisten Weißen froh sein würden, wenn sie zu Bedenken, Respekt und Unterwerfung zurückkehren würden.

They're reacting and that's wonderful. It's better than them sitting there doing nothing. I say make them react - do whatever's in your power to move the audience, and if that's where it is, and there where it is with America, sex and violence, then I say project it.

The most valuable blacks are those in prison, those who have the warrior spirit, who had a sense of being African. They got for their women and children what they needed when all other avenues were closed to them.

I've always wondered what it would be like if the Messiah, or Christ Returned, were actually alive and living in our society; who would that person be, how we would identify them, how would they live and what would they believe in, how would society react to them? I decided to try and tell my idea of that story.
