Zitat des Tages über Schwarze Amerikaner / Black Americans:

The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed. Jim Webb

In 1975 I was among a group of blacks who formed the Black Americans in Support of Israel Committee.

David Dinkins

The injustices endured by black Americans at the hands of their own government have no parallel in our history, not only during the period of slavery but also in the Jim Crow era that followed.

Jim Webb

I fully recognize and appreciate the many substantial contributions of black Americans and other minorities to the creation and preservation and development of our great nation.

Strom Thurmond

I think black Americans expect too much from individual black Americans in terms of changing the status quo.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

As America prepared for war in 1941, discrimination largely shut black Americans out of job opportunities in the growing defense industry.

Tom Perez

It's impossible for most black Americans to construct full family trees. Official census records, used by so many genealogy enthusiasts to piece together their families' pasts, don't include our non-European ancestors.

Jesmyn Ward

I happen to think that conservatism, when properly applied to the 21st century, could actually help everybody. And the message of Trump's campaign was obviously not super-appealing to Latino Americans, black Americans and so forth. That really bothered me.

J. D. Vance

I think race has been a burden for black Americans. Being Muslim has also been a challenge because so many people do not understand Islam.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Well, like most black Americans, I grew up thinking I was supposed to be a Democrat. It wasn't even something you questioned or thought twice about. Black equaled Democrat.

Angela McGlowan

Law enforcement's biased view of the Irish lives on in the nickname we still use for the vehicles we use to transport groups of prisoners. It is, after all, the 'paddy wagon.' The Irish had tough times, but little compares to the experience on our soil of black Americans.

James Comey

In a typical history book, black Americans are mentioned in the context of slavery or civil rights. There's so much more to the story.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

All black Americans have slave names. They have white names; names that the slave master has given to them.

Muhammad Ali

When President Kennedy was elected, many black Americans, like so many Americans, were captivated by his youth and energy and promise and were especially hopeful that he might move the country in a new direction on civil rights.

Marian Wright Edelman

Big and oppressive government has long been the enemy of freedom, something black Americans know all too well.

Rand Paul

Irish Americans are no more Irish than Black Americans are Africans.

Bob Geldof

Progress for black Americans depends on good schools because education is the last great equalizer.

Alphonso Jackson

Particularly black Americans, many of them, from quotes that I have seen and conversations I've had, are sort of insulted that the civil rights movement is being hijacked - the rhetoric of the civil rights movement is being hijacked for something like same sex marriage. Black Americans tend to have a higher degree of religiosity.

Gary Bauer

My biggest inspiration is black America and what they've done in the arts. I have always felt like an outsider in America, and what black Americans have done to add their chapter to this book called the American dream, and to be so unapologetic and true, and have added so much to art and culture in the world.

Hasan Minhaj

Black Lives Matter is proving itself to seek only one end - and that is discord, alienation among Americans, rise in hate, and destruction of community bonds. The relative increase in justice afforded black Americans is of little concern, save as a convenient veneer for their anti-democratic mission.

David A. Clarke, Jr.

Harriet Washington, in 'Medical Apartheid: The Dark History of Medical Experimentation on Black Americans from Colonial Times to the Present,' documents the smallpox experiments Thomas Jefferson performed on his Monticello slaves. In fact, much of what we now think of as public health emerged from the slave system.

Greg Grandin

We are in a diversity age. I talk about the lack of diversity for black Americans, but what about the Asian Americans? You don't see them very often. They have a show called 'Fresh off the Boat.' No one is talking about that show. I saw it, and I found that show completely offensive, but I'm not Asian American.
