Famous quotes containing the words black and/or powder:
“Usually, when people talk about the “strength” of black women they are referring to the way in which they perceive black women coping with oppression. They ignore the reality that to be strong in the face of oppression is not the same as overcoming oppression, that endurance is not to be confused with transformation.”
—bell hooks (b. c. 1955)
“Any gentleman with the slightest chic will give a girl a fifty dollar bill for the powder room.”
