Married White

Famous quotes containing the words married and/or white:

    ‘The key is in the window, the key is in the sunlight at the
    window—I have the key—Get married Allen don’t take drugs—the key is in the bars, in the sunlight in the window.
    Love,
    your mother’
    Allen Ginsberg (b. 1926)

    I know that I will always be expected to have extra insight into black texts—especially texts by black women. A working-class Jewish woman from Brooklyn could become an expert on Shakespeare or Baudelaire, my students seemed to believe, if she mastered the language, the texts, and the critical literature. But they would not grant that a middle-class white man could ever be a trusted authority on Toni Morrison.
    Claire Oberon Garcia, African American scholar and educator. Chronicle of Higher Education, p. B2 (July 27, 1994)
