"Black people have always been used as a buffer in this country between powers to prevent class war."
Society
"There is really nothing more to say-except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how."
Wisdom
"I don't think a female running a house is a problem, a broken family. It's perceived as one because of the notion that a head is a man."
Relationship
"I'm always annoyed about why black people have to bear the brunt of everybody else's contempt. If we are not totally understanding and smiling, suddenly we're demons."
Equality
"For a long time I was convinced that the conflict between Jewish people and black people in this country was a media event."
Politics
"Everything I've ever done, in the writing world, has been to expand articulation, rather than to close it."
Writing
"I would solve a lot of literary problems just thinking about a character in the subway, where you can't do anything anyway."
Creativity
"A lot of black people believe that Jews in this country have become white. They behave like white people rather than Jewish people."
Identity
"I merged those two words, black and feminist, because I was surrounded by black women who were very tough and and who always assumed they had to work and rear children and manage homes."

"Denying the facts is what enables people to hate and to persecute marginalized and threatened minority groups. Labeling the advocacy, educational and informational initiatives of these persecuted minority groups dismissively as 'propaganda for the gay agenda' undermines, belittles and trivializes the cause of those whose right to exist is under threat."
