Racism oppresses its victims, but also binds the oppressors, who sear their consciences with more and more lies until they become prisoners of those lies. They cannot face the truth of human equality because it reveals the horror of the injustices they commit.
Racism
Bill Johnson
I never blame anyone for the size of their brain, But I do think each person is responsible for the size of their heart. And when one sacrifices the integrity of their own heart to foolishess, they also lose intelligence. Racism is the ultimate expression of a heartless fool.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
Nothing that we despise in other men is inherently absent from ourselves. We must learn to regard people less in the light of what they do or don’t do, and more in light of what they suffer.
Alveda King
Racism springs from the lie that certain human beings are less than fully human. It’s a self-centered falsehood that corrupts our minds into believing we are right to treat others as we would not want to be treated.
