“Few white citizens are acquainted with blacks other than those projected by the media and the so—called educational system, which is nothing more than a system of rewards and punishments based upon one’s ability to pledge loyalty oaths to Anglo culture. The media and the “educational system” are the prime sources of racism in the United States.”
—Ishmael Reed (b. 1938)
“And every acre good enough to eat,
As fine as flour put through a baker’s sieve.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
“Standing to America, bringing home
black gold, black ivory, black seed.”
