Famous quotes containing the words racial and/or slur:

    “... all Americans are the prisoners of racial prejudice.”
    —Shirley Chisholm (b. 1924)

    “Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
    Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
    In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
    And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
    He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
    Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
    The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
    Which holds that Man is naturally good,
    And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
    scourged.”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)
