Blacks Beat

Famous quotes containing the words blacks and/or beat:

“We do not need to minimize the poverty of the ghetto or the suffering inflicted by whites on blacks in order to see that the increasingly dangerous and unpredictable conditions of middle- class life have given rise to similar strategies for survival. Indeed the attraction of black culture for disaffected whites suggests that black culture now speaks to a general condition.”
—Christopher Lasch (b. 1932)

“If the pulse of his people shall beat calmly under this experiment, another and another will be tried till the measure of despotism be filled up.”
