DACA recipients risk a lot to come out of the shadows & sign up, but many will tell you the risk is worth being able to live and work in the only country they’ve ever known as home. DACA recipients serve in our military, work in Fortune 100 companies, and conduct important medical research.
Kamala HarrisDoing well is the result of doing good. That’s what capitalism is all about.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIn socialism, private property is anathema, and equal distribution of income the first consideration. In capitalism, private property is cardinal, and distribution left to ensue from the play of free contract and selfish interest on that basis, no matter what anomalies it may present.
George Bernard ShawWe reached a high point in my opinion with the passage of the civil rights legislation and Martin Luther King’s success and the crusade of others. I think we kind of breathed a sigh of relief as if we had achieved the end of racial discrimination or white supremacy.
Jimmy CarterA riot is the language of the unheard.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I think when you spread the wealth around it’s good for everybody.
Barack ObamaWorkers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains.
Karl MarxWhen the human race neglects its weaker members, when the family neglects its weakest one – it’s the first blow in a suicidal movement. I see the neglect in cities around the country, in poor white children in West Virginia and Virginia and Kentucky – in the big cities, too, for that matter.
Maya AngelouThe trouble with our people is as soon as they got out of slavery they didn’t want to give the white man nothing else. But the fact is, you got to give em something. Either your money, your land, your woman or your ass.
Alice WalkerIf you’re white and you’re wrong, then you’re wrong; if you’re black and you’re wrong, you’re wrong. People are people. Black, blue, pink, green – God make no rules about color; only society make rules where my people suffer, and that why we must have redemption and redemption now.
Bob MarleyNothing in the world is irreversible, not even capitalism.
Fidel CastroI’ve never doubted that apartheid – because it was of itself fundamentally, intrinsically evil – was going to bite the dust eventually.
Desmond TutuIf you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
Desmond TutuI hate the way they portray us in the media. If you see a black family it says they’re looting, if you see a white family it says they’re looking for food.
Kanye WestTrouble brews when we steal from the poor and give to the rich.
Robert KiyosakiYou can’t put democracy and freedom back into a box.
George W. BushThe Negro needs the white man to free him from his fears. The white man needs the Negro to free him from his guilt.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I was born realizing the flaws in the criminal justice system.
Kamala HarrisThe ideals and principles for which Dr King fought have never been forgotten and are as relevant today as they were 40 years ago.
George LucasGeorge Bush doesn’t care about black people.
Kanye WestI should tie myself to no particular system of society other than of socialism.
Nelson MandelaFreedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.
Martin Luther King, Jr.If you tremble with indignation at every injustice, then you are a comrade of mine.
Che GuevaraCapital is dead labor, which, vampire-like, lives only by sucking living labor, and lives the more, the more labor it sucks.
Karl MarxThe man who could go to Africa and rob her of her children, and then sell them into interminable bondage, with no other motive than that which is furnished by dollars and cents, is so much worse than the most depraved murderer that he can never receive pardon at my hand.
Abraham LincolnWe have two evils to fight, capitalism and racism. We must destroy both racism and capitalism.
Huey NewtonYou cannot talk about race without talking about privilege. And when people start talking about privilege, they get paralyzed by shame.
Brene BrownI’m not focused on the gay and lesbian movement.
Billy GrahamThe polls show that concern over inequality among the general public rose pretty sharply after the Occupy movement started, very probably as a consequence. And there are other policy issues that came to the fore, which are significant.
Noam ChomskyThe argument that resistance to the war should remain strictly nonviolent seems to me overwhelming.
Noam ChomskyOne child must never be set above another, even in casual conversation, not to mention in speeches that circle the globe.
Alice WalkerDiscrimination is a hellhound that gnaws at Negroes in every waking moment of their lives to remind them that the lie of their inferiority is accepted as truth in the society dominating them.
Martin Luther King, Jr.Black people in America, people from the struggle, immigrants, it’s no generational wealth that we are attached to, so we are tasked to create – in one generation – closing the gap. That’s why we so Doomsday about getting to the check: ‚cause it’s life or death for real.
Nipsey HussleIt is incontestable and deplorable that Negroes have committed crimes; but they are derivative crimes. They are born of the greater crimes of the white society.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I think what you’re seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers, our sisters, our children, our cousins, our friends, our co-workers, and that they’ve got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out.
Barack ObamaCapitalism has shortfalls. It doesn’t necessarily take care of the poor, and it underfunds innovation, so we have to offset that.
Bill GatesIn terms of my involvement in ‚don’t ask, don’t tell‘ and marriage equality and anti-bullying and social emotional learning in schools – these are all things that arise out of my relationship with the world and with my fans.
Lady GagaWe have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter – and to write it in the books of law.
Lyndon B. JohnsonGay marriage is going to happen. It must.
Lady GagaIn too many communities, too many young men of color are left behind and seen only as objects of fear. Through initiatives like My Brother’s Keeper, I’m personally committed to changing both perception and reality.
Barack ObamaYou’ve got to watch the politics of AIDS. The politics of AIDS can work both for and against the victims of AIDS.
BonoGet up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don’t give up the fight.
Bob MarleyChina adopted a capitalist system in the 1980s, and they went from a 60% poverty rate to 10%.
Bill GatesWhen you hear people making hateful comments, stand up to them. Point out what a waste it is to hate, and you could open their eyes.
Taylor SwiftFree speech has been used by the Supreme Court to give immense power to the wealthiest members of our society.
Noam ChomskyWe can’t have special interests sitting shotgun. We gotta have middle class families up in front. We don’t mind the Republicans joining us. They can come for the ride, but they gotta sit in back.
Barack ObamaSocialists tend to want to pay people more money to do less work, and capitalists tend to want to provide better products at better prices.
Robert KiyosakiWe’ve never advocated violence; violence is inflicted upon us. But we do believe in self-defense for ourselves and for black people.
Huey NewtonI think big business is a terrible thing for the spirit of the country, as our spirit is the best thing about us.
Kurt VonnegutMe and my dad are the biggest promoters of an estate tax in the US. It’s not a popular position.
Bill GatesIt has always been a mystery to me how men can feel themselves honoured by the humiliation of their fellow beings.
Mahatma GandhiI personally have always been in favor of people who are gay being permitted to marry legally – and I still feel that way.
Jimmy CarterI think it’s wrong that only one company makes the game Monopoly.
Steven WrightI stand for anti-bigotry, anti-Semitism, and anti-racism.
George H. W. BushA true capitalist doesn’t have a job, because other people and other people’s money work for them.
Robert KiyosakiCapitalism knows only one color: that color is green; all else is necessarily subservient to it, hence, race, gender and ethnicity cannot be considered within it.
Thomas SowellI hope that people will finally come to realize that there is only one ‚race‘ – the human race – and that we are all members of it.
Margaret AtwoodI think that all people who feel that there is injustice in the world anywhere should learn as much of it as they can bear. That is our duty.
Alice WalkerUnrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
Pope FrancisIf you want to appeal to everyone, you can’t do a world tour and expect black people to show up at every date – when you’re in Australia, when you’re in Dubai, when you’re in Indonesia.
